[Verse 1]
I never meant to leave you
But the hourglass finished my sand dune
Who could have guessed the day or time?
I would have never predicted mine
I never meant to grieve you
I'm watching from the clouds and I see you
I used to make you feel alive
Now the thought of me just makes you cry
[Refrain]
Well, I lived
And I loved with all my heart
And I did
All I could and played my part
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll do the same
If not for you, then in my name
And you don't havе to fake a smile
Tears likе rain may fall for a while
But don't cry too long for me
Get back up and live for me
Carry on my legacy
Let my love be a memory
That you carry in your heart
Always know that I am never far
[Verse 2]
I pray the Lord to keep you
Trust even in times when you're confused
Through the fog, He'll be a light
Look beyond yourself for strength to fight
Be careful what you cling to
Know with all your heart that I'm with you
Loosen all the heavy ties
Let me be the wings that help you fly
[Refrain]
'Cause I lived
And I loved with all my heart
And I did
All I could and played my part
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll do the same
If not for you, then in my name
And you don't have to fake a smile
Tears like rain may fall for a while
But don't cry too long for me
Get back up and live for me
Carry on my legacy
Let my love be a memory
That you carry in your heart
Always know that I'm never far
