Knowing You'll Be There

The other day I passed the place
You always liked to go
And I picked up the phone because
I thought you'd want to know
But I forgot you weren't there
I miss you all these days
That I'm reminded of your smile
And the funny things you'd say

I see you most at Christmas
You were like a little kid
You always loved a good surprise
And now I must admit
That I long more for heaven
Than I ever did before
You give me one more reason
And each day I want it more

Knowing we can spend a lifetime
Reminiscing on the past
Knowing I will see your face again
Where tender moments last
It makes me wanna go there
Knowing I won't be alone
Knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home

You left a group of fishermen
Somehow you left me too
And though I've felt you many times
And know you saw me through
I've always long to feel your arms
And look into your eyes
And talk forever me and you
Somewhere in paradise
