Knowing You'll Be There

I've been learning quite a few new songs the last few weeks.... one song that has become a favourite is this one..... after so many of my close friends have lost parents this year, the lyrics to this have a whole new meaning.....


Knowing You'll Be There

The other day I passed a 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, on these days,
But I'm reminded of your smile and the funny things you'd say.

I'd see you most at Christmas, you were like a little kid,
You've always loved a good surprise and now I must admit;
That I long more for Heaven than I ever did before,
You gave me one more reason and each day I want it more.

Chorus

Knowing we can spend a lifetime reminiscing on the past,
Knowing I will see your face again where tender moments last;
It makes me want to 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 and somehow you left me too,
Though I have failed you many times, I know you saw me through;
I've always longed to feel your arms and look into your eyes,
And talk forever me and you, somewhere in Paradise.

Chorus

Knowing we can spend a lifetime reminiscing on the past,
Knowing I will see your face again where tender moments last;
It makes me want to go there knowing I won't be alone,
Knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home.
Knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home.
