How do the years pass so quickly?
How does the love never fly?
How do we keep on going,
Whenever a loved one dies?
The love is a blessing,
I thank God for it all my days,
It’s wonderful to have it still,
Even after loved ones part ways.
When we all get to heaven,
It will be a great reunion,
We’ll hug, kiss, laugh and cry,
A regular feast of communion.
Until that day, though,
We’ll hold fast our love,
We’ll remember our loved ones,
Living long up above.
We’ll hug, kiss, laugh and cry,
The loves we make down here,
Until the day that we die.
