I never saw it coming

It struck me like a train

And still it's slowly killing me

This is worse than any pain

I saw you as invincible

A strong and steady wall

You could take on anything

And still you'd never fall

To hear that you had fallen

I prayed it wasn't true

I thought over and over

There's no way that it was you

The fact that you're not here now

With the saddness that it brings

Now I know you're flying high

With your new set of wings

I know you're looking down

From a warm and peacful place

Telling me you made it home

With that smile on your face

There's no way this is good bye

For one day again we'll meet

So for now you wait up there

And save me an extra seat
