Every man has his place and time
Everyone has a loved one that they leave behind
And even though I'm not right there with you
I'm watchin' from a distance, just wishin' that you knew

I always hear the prayers in your head late at night
I walk here right here beside you when nobody's by your side
I don't want you to cry over my memory
So go on without me

I hope that it's my love that makes you feel
That you can get back on your feet
Yeah, I swear you will
Oh, you got so much of this life left to live
And I'll be smiling at the thought of you just like I always did

Every breath of life is short and sweet
So glad that I'm up here
That I got to see you go on without me
