Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

The other day I passed the place

You always liked to go

And I picked up the phone because

I thought you'd want to know

But I forgot you weren't there

I miss you all these days

That I'm reminded of your smile

And the funny things you'd say

 

I miss you most at Christmas

You were like a little kid

You always loved a good surprise

And now I must admit

That I long more for heaven

Than I ever did before

You give me one more reason

And each day I want it more

 

Knowing we can spend a lifetime

 

Reminiscing on the past

Knowing I will see your face again

Where tender moment last

It makes me wanna be there

Knowing I won't be alone

Knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home

 

You left a group of fishermen

Somehow you left me too

And though I've felt you many times

And know you saw me through

I've always long to feel your arms

And look into your eyes

And talk forever me and you

Somewhere in paradise
