We spent a lifetime together
You've been the happiness and sunshine in my life
Side by side down the back roads forever
Let's keep the memory in our hearts and our minds
I'm so sorry for all things I done wrong
But the time gets too short before long
So get up and fly
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Don't let the things I've done hold you down
When you're feeling lost and blue
I'll always be with you because
Gone don't always mean goodbye
When my life hit rock bottom
You came along and picked me up off the ground
You gave me love when I was wantin'
Like an angel from heaven come down
So I know you'll make it somehow
So get up and fly
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Don't let the things I've done hold you down
When you're feeling lost and blue
I'll always be with you because
Gone don't always mean goodbye
Though I may be gone you'll still carry on
Though you may be blue I'll still be with you
As darkness comes before day
These last words to you I'll say
So get up and fly
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Don't let the things I've done hold you down
When you're feeling lost and blue
I'll always be with you because
Gone don't always mean goodbye
Gone don't always mean goodbye
Gone don't always mean goodbye
