You were the beacon that lit up my life   When i thought i was drowning you threw me a lifeline   You were the beauty i was the beast   You touched my soul, you made me whole,    you gave me peace   And though you may be going now into distance into time   I pray I know all the things you'll find   May the road rise up to meet you   May the wind be always there to fly   And may the sun shine 'til we meet again   And may the lord of life always protect you   Hold you safely in the palm of his hand   And may the sun shine   'Til we meet again   Thank you for being, well just being you   Thank you for being friend and helping me through   You leave an impression of love and of care   You leave me the strength   To carry the load we all must bear   And though you may be going now   into distance into time   I pray I know all the things you'll find   May the road rise up to meet you   May the wind be always there to fly   And may the sun shine 'til we meet again   And may the lord of life always protect you   Hold you safely in the palm of his hand   And may the sun shine 'til we meet again   'Til we meet again
