So long my dear departed   Where did you go?   I can't believe your gone and   The nights go on so slow      I'm missing you each morning   Days gone by   Again I feel the longing   To look you in the eye      Chorus   You know I never let you go   You know I never hurt so bad   And if it takes a thousand years   I will be right there by your side      You know I never let you go   When I lost you I was blind   And every time I catch my tear   I will be right there by your side      I feel you when you're watching   From afar   To young to leave me standing   I wonder where you are      The precious time we spent   The fondest memories   I hold on to the promise   That you made to me      Chorus      Bridge   I stare into his eyes   And then I see your face   Undying love inside   A love you can't replace      You're looking down with pride   Let me show what I can't tell      So long my dear departed   Where did you go?   I can't believe you're gone and   My life goes on so slow      Chorus
