When I'm Gone (A Testament In Rock) Lyrics

To my son, my pride, my light,

I held you close through every fight.

I taught you to dream, to chase the skies,

To face the world with kid's eyes.

Be honest, loyal, wild, and free,

Live the life I dreamed you'd see.

Though you're a man now, brave and strong,

In my heart, you'll never grow old.

When I'm gone, don't let me fade,

Keep me in the memories we made.

In your heart, I'll sing my song,

I loved you fiercely, all along.

To my wife, my soul, my flame,

I loved you more than words could name.

Through every day, through joy and pain,

You were the sunshine fighting the rain.

Take me with you, hold me near,

In laughter's joy or a single tear.

I'll miss your touch, your warm embrace,

But I'll find you in a better place.

When I'm gone, don't let me fade,

Keep me in the memories we made.

In your heart, I'll sing my song,

I loved you fiercely, all along.

To my friends and family, near and far,

I'll be with you, wherever you are.

Forgive my flaws, my temper's sting,

The times I failed, the pain I'd bring.

For words unsaid, for tears you cried,

For calls I missed, the times I lied.

I hope you'll miss me, as I miss you,

See you soon, beyond the blue.

When I'm gone, don't let me fade,

Keep me in the memories we made.

In your heart, I'll sing my song,

I loved you fiercely, all along.

So when I'm gone, look to the skies,

Find my echo where the spirit flies.

In every laugh, in every tear,

Know I'll always be right here.

Take my love, and carry it on,

I'll be with you, when I'm gone.
