We spent a lifetime together You've been the happiness and sunshine in my life Side by side down the back roads forever Let's keep the memory in our hearts and our minds I'm so sorry for all things I done wrong But the time gets too short before long So get up and fly Wipe the tears from your eyes Don't let the things I've done hold you down When you're feeling lost and blue I'll always be with you because Gone don't always mean goodbye When my life hit rock bottom You came along and picked me up off the ground You gave me love when I was wantin' Like an angel from heaven come down So I know you'll make it somehow So get up and fly Wipe the tears from your eyes Don't let the things I've done hold you down When you're feeling lost and blue I'll always be with you because Gone don't always mean goodbye Though I may be gone you'll still carry on Though you may be blue I'll still be with you As darkness comes before day These last words to you I'll say So get up and fly Wipe the tears from your eyes Don't let the things I've done hold you down When you're feeling lost and blue I'll always be with you because Gone don't always mean goodbye Gone don't always mean goodbye Gone don't always mean goodbye
