So long my dear departed Where did you go I can't believe you're gone and The lights go out so slow I'm missin you each mornin Days gone by I can not feel the longing To look you in the eye You know I'll never let you go You know I'll never hurt so bad And if It takes a thousand years I will be right there by your side You know I'll never let you go When I lost you I was blind And everytime I catch my tear I will be right there by your side I feel you when you're watching from afar Too young to leave me standing I wonder where you are The precious time we spent My fondest memories I'll hold on to the promise That you made to me You know I'll never let you go You know I'll never hurt so bad And if It takes a thousand years I will be right there by your side You know I'll never hurt so much When I lost you I was blind And everytime I catch my tear You are right there by my side I stare into his eyes and then I see your face A dying love inside A love you can't replace You're looking down with pride And let me show what I can tell So long my dear departed Where did you go I can't believe you're gone And my life goes on so slow You know I'll never let you go You know I'll never hurt so bad And if It takes a thousand years I will be right there by your side You know I'll let you go When I lost you I was blind And everytime I catch my tear You are right there by my side By my side You are right there by my side
