“You Ask Me If I See You”
You ask me if I see you,
Since I have gone away.
I try to help you understand,
I watch over you each day.
You wonder if I hear you,
When you talk to me at night.
I hear you say you love me,
You will never leave my sight.
You cry so many tears for me,
They flow upon your face…
Please feel me as I wipe your tears,
I want a smile upon your face.
Remember our sweet memories,
The times we shared with love.
Hold on to all your hopes and dreams,
I support them from above.
Let go of all your guilt and pain,
Let go of all your fears.
God just had other plans for me,
Why carry that all these years?
The day I passed is not the day,
I made you love me so.
Please cherish all the memories made,
Before I had to go.
Just take the day I passed,
and put it in a box with care.
Now hand the box to God please,
For it isn't yours to bear.
Please know I'll always love you,
As I watch you carry on.
And know that I am here with you,
For we are never really gone…
