I Never Left You

Your first Christmas without me

I hope you understand

I never really left you

I just took Jesus’ hand

Although quite unexpected

Couldn’t even say goodbye

It changed your life forever

Now I’m sitting by his side

And all the tears you’re crying

I feel them from above

But here there is no sadness

So it feels like drops of love

This life we live is borrowed

And our time here on this earth

So smile each day as you awake

And make each hour worth

Hold on to one another

Be kind, be joyful too

For that’s what life is all about

The love, the hope, the truth

We’ll always be together

For I’m always in your heart

As angels wipe away your tears

Know we’ll never be apart

Have a very Merry Christmas

And please, please understand

I never really left you

I just took Jesus’ hand.
