We'll See You Later, My Friend

Описание: [Verse 1]

We lost another friend yesterday
It came out of the blue
Everyone's still in shock today
From such a sudden loss of you
We've known you since the seventies
Back when life was young and wide
We watched you marry, raise your kids
With your family by your side

[Verse 2]

Then the grandkids came along
Oh how proud you were
Family was your everything
Your love for them endured
Your life was full of laughter
Stories, miles and years
A heart that held so many friends
And wiped away our teers

[Chorus]

Now you're with Jesus
The One you longed to see
With your father gone too early
And your mama patiently
Your sister there beside them
Waiting at Heaven's gate
Oh I can almost hear it now
As they call your name

[Spoken - Deep Baritone Majestic Voice]

"Donna Riddle Weaver"

[Verse 3]

Ringing through the sky
Family gathered all around
With joyful tearful eyes
The reunion scene we dream about
The one we long to see
Hugs and kisses we've missed so long
For all eternity

[Chorus]

Now you're with Jesus
The Savior of our souls
The One who led your faithful life
Through every high and low
I see that smile upon His face
As Heaven welcomes you

[Spoken - Deep Baritone Majestic Voice]

"Well done my faithful child," He says
"My home belongs to you."

[Bridge (Orchestra swells)]

A warm embrace that fills your soul
The reason that you lived
Every prayer and every step
For this eternal gift

[Verse 4]

Our hearts will skip a beat today
As we say goodbye to you
But we know you're where we long to be
Where every dream comes true
So it's not goodbye forever
Just a little while my friend
We'll tell the stories that you left
Until we meet again

[Final Chorus (Big orchestral gospel lift)]

So rest well now our dear sweet friend
You've earned your peaceful rest
Your life became a testimony
Of a life lived truly blessed
Our loss down here is heavy
But Heaven gained so much
And knowing you are waiting there
Still brings a healing touch

[Outro]

Our lives are better for your love
For every memory near
And through the stories that we tell
You'll always still be here
Until the day we meet again
On Heaven's golden shore
We'll see you later, dear friend
As we join you in Heven forever more.
