I came upon this song on one of my Kathy Troccoli albums years ago and it was so touching to me.
When my father died unexpectedly, I came upon the song again and the meaning and sentiment just hit me so profoundly.
This song captured everything my mother was going through in losing my father. Even though life seemed impossible to live without him, we can look forward to the day that we'll all be together again when our lives on Earth are over. Until that time, we say "Goodbye just for now".
Lyrics:
I can't believe that you're really gone now. Seems like it's all just a dream How can it be that the world would go on When something has died within me Leaves will turn, my heart will burn With colors of you Snow will fall, but I'll recall your warmth Summer wind, breathing in your memory I'll miss you
But there will be a time When I'll see your face And I'll hear your voice And there we will laugh again And there will come a day When I'll hold you close No More tears to cry 'Cause we'll have forever But I'll say Goodbye for now
I can't imagine my life without you You held a place all your own Just knowing you were beneath the same sky Oh what a joy I have known On rainy days, in many ways You'll water my heart On starry nights I'll glmipse the light of your smile Never far from my heart
