lyrics

We didn't need to say goodbye
We didn't need to say I love you one more time
And even though you're gone
Your smile will cary on
I see it every time I walk your way
The kindness that you showed will never fade away

I want to thank you for each and every day
You kept smiling when blue skies turned grey
As brave as you could be, you finally made me see
Words mean nothing in the end, love is the only message we can send
And even thought you're gone
Your smile will carry on

So Rest In Peace my friend - So long
I know your smile will carry on
Im crying for you now, but the sun will soon come out
We met by chance, and we will meet again someday
