Can See Why

It's been so long since you've been gone I wonder how you are my friend I can't wait until I see you And can talk to you again About the other side of life And how I feel so happy It's felt like forever You're finally right back next to me And then we can go on About what it was like Of everything you did You were gone all that time And you say I held the hand of Jesus And I walked the streets of gold And man I tell you now It's better than what was told I looked across the river Oh and what did I see I could see all God's angels Reaching out to me I hated leaving you Without saying goodbye But they called me on home So I had to go I hope now you can see why I stayed up late at night Wiped away so many tears So many questions that I asked How can I get through the years? Everybody misses you And the days keep getting long I don't know if I can take it But I'm still holding on To hear you say I held the hand of Jesus And I walked the streets of gold And man I tell you now It's better than what was told I looked across the river Oh and what did I see I could see all God's angels Reaching out to me I hated leaving you Without saying goodbye But they called me on home So I had to go I hope now you can see why And when I finally see that day Together we can say I held the hand of Jesus And I walked the streets of gold And man I tell you now It's better than what was told I looked across the river Oh and what did I see I could see you and all God's angels Reaching out to me No more leaving you No more saying goodbye Now we are all home And never have to go And now I can see why
