Nothing feels like home here
Now that you are gone
The world just keeps on moving
But I'm not moving on
The grieving is the hardest
But I'm holding on to this
Every day's a thousand years without you in it
But I'll see you in a minute
And run into your arms
There'll be nothing missing
Like we never were apart
So when my heart is aching
I'll remember where you are
You always said that heaven time is different
So I'll see you in a minute
The worlds a better place now
Just because you lived
I'll try my best to be like you
And love the way you did
You're the one who showed me Jesus
Now you're face to face with Him
Every day's a thousand years without you in it
But I'll see you in a minute
And run into your arms
There'll be nothing missing
Like we never were apart
So when my heart is aching
I'll remember where you are
You always said that heaven time is different
So I'll see you in a minute
There's a hope that outlives death
It's every heartbeat in my chest
And though my faith is not sight yet
Knowing yours is now
Gives me strength somehow
There's a hope that outlives death
It's every heartbeat in my chest
And though my faith is not sight yet
Knowing yours is now
Gives me strength somehow
I'll see you in a minute
And run into your arms
There'll be nothing missing
Like we never were apart
So when my heart is aching
I'll remember where you are
You always said that heaven time is different
So I'll see you in a minute
