Verse 1:
I don't want to say goodbye tonight
But farewell, sweet dreams
If you go, rest in piece
I'll hold your hand and squeeze it
As you close your eyes, keep prayin'
You'll be home in no time
See you on the other side

Chorus:
Keep your faith strong
All along I knew you'd do your best
To leave a lasting impression
And you did, thank you
I'll miss you, but let your light shine through
I'll keep your spirit alive
Until I see you on the other side

Verse 2:
The most evident piece of perfect heaven I've known
Flew down to give me hope
Make my life worthwhile
Cause you didn't wanna see me hurt
Wanted to see me smile
And let me know how much I'm worth
I'll hold your hand and squeeze it
As you close your eyes, keep prayin'
You'll be home in no time
See you on the other side

Chorus:
Keep your faith strong
All along I knew you'd do your best
To leave a lasting impression
And you did, thank you
I'll miss you, but let your light shine through
I'll keep your spirit alive
Until I see you on the other side

Chorus:
Keep your faith strong
All along I knew you'd do your best
To leave a lasting impression
And you did, thank you
I'll miss you, but let your light shine through
I'll keep your spirit alive
Until I see you on the other side

Bridge:
And don't be upset to go away
I just don't want to see you suffering
And when you're comfortable
Then you can go
Then you can go home

Chorus:
Keep your faith strong
All along I knew you'd do your best
To leave a lasting impression
And you did, thank you
I'll miss you, but let your light shine through
I'll keep your spirit alive
Until I see you on the other side

Chorus:
Keep your faith strong
All along I knew you'd do your best
To leave a lasting impression
And you did, thank you
I'll miss you, but let your light shine through
I'll keep your spirit alive
Until I see you on the other side

Bridge:
And don't be upset to go away
I just don't want to see you suffering
And when you're comfortable
Then you can go
Then you can go home

Verse 1:
I don't want to say goodbye tonight
But farewell, sweet dreams
If you go, rest in piece
I'll hold your hand and squeeze it
As you close your eyes, keep prayin'
You'll be home in no time
See you on the other side
I'll hold your hand and squeeze it
As you close your eyes, keep prayin'
You'll be home in no time
See you on the other side

The author's comments:
My inspiration for this song was inspired by a woman I met volunteering at a nursing home. Her name was Minerva, but everyone called her Minnie, and she loved Minnie Mouse. In a time of need I met her. She had previously experienced breast cancer and survived. She was only in her late 40's when I met her, and due to infection, she had both legs amputated. She also had about 6 fingers amputated from infections. She had hearing aids and an oxygen tank. She was in and out of the hospital. She had a catheter and kidney transplants. This woman was just absolutely amazing. During our short time knowing each other, we developed a strong connection. Not too long after her 50th birthday, she passed away in her sleep. She lived way above the time she was expected to. She left a lasting impression on me, because she loved her life and worshipped God up and down. When she praised him, she held her hands to the sky with her hands open even though she may have been embarrassed due to amputated fingers. This woman gave me so much confidence and hope. I felt it respectful to write something nice for her. She was the first close person I lost in my life, and I still miss her.
Love you, Minnie.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible- it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any other material posesion could.<br /> <br /> ~Barbara de Angel

beautiful. I want to say that again because i know what you went through with this. my guitar teacher passed away in january of this year and he was a best friend and father figure to me. he helped me find myself and believe in myself. and he passed away from leukemia in january, as previously stated. I am attempting to write him a song and it is going poorly. I wish i had your talent in this area. 55555555555555555/5
