lyrics

Gone but not Forgotten


He had his own cue
Was a bit of a shark
His time on earth
Was cut way too short

And I still sleep
In his red plaid shirt
Yeah the scent's long gone
Damn it broke my heart

And you're gone but not forgotten
And I think of you so often
And I know we'll meet again
On the steps to the gates of Heaven

She wore work boots
With her usherette dress
I tried to make her laugh
She was not impressed

She had a stubborn streak
And a loyal heart
And when she held you
You were safe in her arms

And he held my hand
Walked me to the corner
Yeah that's Momma said
Look after your brother

And in his final days
I held his hand
Said it's ok to go
To that promised land

But you're gone but not forgotten
And I think of you so often
And I know we'll meet again
On the steps to the gates of Heaven

Her windows are dark
But the cross burns bright
While the music plays
On through the night

Her pictures still hang
On my walls
And when the phone rings
I still think it's her callin'

He taught me to ride
With a gentle heart
I felt him let go
But our bond would still hold

Now I hope he can feel
The warm breeze though his hair
The sun on his skin
With miles to spare

And you're gone but not forgotten
And I think of you so often
And I know we'll meet again
On the steps to the gates of Heaven

And you're gone but not forgotten
And I think of you so often
And I know we'll meet again
On the steps to the gates of Heaven
On the steps to the gates of Heaven
