Lyrics
IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE THAT LOVE YOU
You touched a lot of lives old friend
The world?s better ?cause of where you?ve been
But now you?ve moved on
We?ll remember all that you taught us
And the joy that just seeing you brought us
And together we?ll carry on
We?ll remember the smiles and the long extra miles
You walked with each of us
How those encouraging words in our times of hurt
Were spoken with true love
We knew you were headin? for the highway to Heaven
And we?ll all follow soon
But ?til then you?ll live in the hearts of those that love you
Old friend we salute you
And thankful God chose to include you
In His plan for us
Another page in our life is turning
As you begin your final journey
To be with the King of Love
We?ll remember the smiles and the long extra miles
You walked with each of us
How those encouraging words in our times of hurt
Were spoken with true love
Yeah we knew you were headin? for the highway to heaven
And we?ll all follow soon
But ?til then you?ll live in the hearts of those that love you
Here on earth you?ll live in the hearts of those that love you
Old friend you?ll live in the hearts of those that love you
