I If life could only bring again, the days I took for granted when To hear your voice was just a call away Oh what I'd give for just some time, To say the things that slipped my mind There's so much now I'd really like to say But I can never go back when we did the things we did back then I'll store those precious memories in my mind I'll take what you've instilled in me; I'll try to be all I can be And walk the path that you have left behind I sure miss you; life will never be the same with you not here Each passing day has brought much pain But with God's grace my strength remains I sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there II The little things that seemed so small are now gold in a memory vault I cherish every one I have of you Now I can see and recognize the part you played to shape my life I often see you in the things I do In God's design and master plan He saw the hurting hearts of man As we would say goodbye to those so dear So with our family and friends we'll be together once again We'll view all heaven's splendor hand in hand
