People never knew just how much he meant to me and you They knew him by name, but it's still not the same His eyes so bright, his smile so wide We always let him know we were right there by his side Now he's gone from me and you Now we have no reason to be blue We loved him, he loved us And we have to try not to fuss He said goodbye and gave you a kiss Now all we can do is reminis Why does God take the best to love Up to that great big world up above? His memory will never leave His kind and gentle smile will always be seen Never forget him, never let him leave your mind Tell him you love him, just one more time.
