YOU WENT AHEAD W/M: Bob Bennett For Roby Duke (Remembering Tom Howard and Phil Kristianson) You went ahead It does not seem fair I'm still here ... and you are there I'm one of many in this long line Of those who love you And are left behind Sadness, for now is all I can see So I cry for you But, my good friend It's mostly for me You went ahead You just had to look Skipped all those pages To the end of the book You get to go, I have to stay In all this uncertainty Making my way And deep in the night time When I lay my head down I'm grateful and angry at a world That still turns Though you're not around It's not polite to cut in line But I can let it go this time The harder thing I have to do Is to say goodbye And not let go of you Cause you went ahead of me You went ahead
