Hello My Friend

Verse 1

We gather here in borrowed light,

With heavy hearts, but hands held tight.

Your name still echoes in this place,

In quiet rooms, in time, in space.

You walked with us through days and years,

Through laughter loud and silent tears.

Though death has taken you from sight,

Your love remains—our guiding light.

Chorus

You’re not gone, you’ve just moved on,

To somewhere we can’t follow yet.

But every word, every lesson taught,

Is a promise we will not forget.

You live in stories, breath, and song,

In all the ways you made us strong.

So we remember, and we stand,

Carrying you, hand in hand.

Verse 2

In ordinary moments now,

We feel you near—we don’t ask how.

In shared old jokes, in songs you loved,

In skies above, in stars unshoved.

Grief may come like crashing waves,

But love outlives the longest days.

And though this hurts more than we knew,

It’s only because we loved you true.

Final Chorus / Outro

So rest in peace, but not in silence,

Your life still speaks, your voice still rings.

Until the day our paths align,

We’ll honor you in everything.

We say goodbye, but not “the end,”

Just “thank you,” “see you,” dear old friend.
