HOW CAN YOU BE GONE?
>
Words and music
By Ann Hampton Callaway and Lindy Robbins
How can you be gone
When your memory is here
Ev'ry moment of the day?
The way your voice is heard
In the music of a bird
Proves that you're not far away
I feel a gentle breeze
Like you're whisp'ring in my ear
Telling me I can be brave and strong
So how can you be gone?
How can you be gone?
How can you be gone
When the half moon stole your smile
And the stars spell out your name
When sorrow strikes me blind
I feel your hand in mine
As you lead me through the rain
Lonesome nights I dream
You are teaching me to fly
And I wake with the strength to go on
But how can you be gone?
How can you be gone?
BRIDGE
I know you're here
You are ev'rywhere
Watching from above
Filling me with love
INSTRUMENTAL
CODA
As I stand upon a shore
I can almost see you soar
With your glowing angel wings
If I keep you in my mind
And I hold you in my heart
Like a sweet never ending song
Then how can you be gone?
How can you be gone?
How can you be gone?
