Goodbye by Amanda Perez

What do you think?

(sent in by an anonymous contributor)

My best friend who I used to call my brother was on life support and before he passed away I sang this song to him. He was paralyzed and the only thing he could do is just hear and open his eyes. When I sang this song while holding on to his hand. I was in a part that says “I don’t want to say goodbye”. He kind of squeezed my hand and I looked up and he was crying. Now that he’s gone I will sing this song to him one last time in his services. 

Rest in Peace Gabriel Elijah Lopez.

Lyrics

Nobody knows what you’re going through
But I know this much is true
I need you in my life
I need you by my side
I wanna see your face
I need to hear your voice
And I know that if it’s meant
I’ll have no choice
But I don’t want…
I don’t wanna let you go…
‘Cause I know deep down in my heart
I feel it in my soul

It’s gonna be hard
God take my heart
‘Cause I don’t want it anyway
I don’t think that I can take
Feeling this hurt
I’m feeling the worst
Lord give me one more chance
Let me do all I can
‘Cause I don’t wanna say
Goodbye…

I wish I could turn back the hands of time
I wish that I can take the pain
This pain and suffering out of your life
Now I’m here in memories
Of how things how used to be
Can’t hold these tears from falling from my eyes
Can’t hold this hurting inside

 

 

God take my heart

‘Cause I don’t want it anyway
I don’t think that I can take
Feeling this hurt
I’m feeling the worst
Lord give me one more chance
Let me do all I can
‘Cause I don’t wanna say
Goodbye…

Hold me close
Don’t let go
This can’t be
Please no
It’s not supposed to happen this way
You’re supposed to live to see many days
With all your laughs
And all your smiles
I swear the angels can hear you from many miles
In my dreams he tells me but I already know
I just don’t wanna let you go
It’s gonna be hard
It’s gonna be hard
But I don’t wanna let…
I don’t wanna let you go
‘Cause I don’t wanna say
Goodbye…
Love you mom
