[piano and very soft guitar sounds]
Verse 1
I’ve stood beside the ones who wept,
With trembling hands and hearts undone.
I’ve watched them say their last goodbye,
To someone they loved more than life.
And for a moment, all the world
Seemed broken underneath their feet.
As if the love they held so close
Was gone beyond where eyes could see.
[Guitar Solo]
Pre-Chorus
But somewhere underneath the tears,
A quiet voice was speaking still:
“This is not the end, my child.
There is a promise death can’t steal.”
Chorus
We will stay forever,
We will never part again.
Nothing in all of heaven
Will ever take you from me.
No more tears, no more sorrow,
No more saying goodbye.
We’ll be together forever,
In the presence of Jesus Christ.
[Guitar Solo]
Verse 2
And when I finally reach that place,
I may still have tears upon my face.
I’ll carry every earthly scar,
Every name I held inside my heart.
But then I’ll look across the light,
And suddenly I’ll see your eyes.
The ones I thought I’d never see,
Running through eternity to me.
[piano and soft guitar solos]
Pre-Chorus
And you will smile through every tear,
And take my hand like yesterday.
You’ll say, “My friend, you’re finally home.
There are no goodbyes here anymore.”
Chorus
We will stay forever,
We will never part again.
Nothing in all of heaven
Will ever take you from me.
No more tears, no more sorrow,
No more saying goodbye.
We’ll be together forever,
In the presence of Jesus Christ.
[Guitar Solo]
Final Chorus
We will stay forever,
We will never part again.
Nothing in all of heaven
Will ever separate us again.
No more tears, no more sorrow,
No more fear of losing you.
We’ll be together forever,
Because Jesus made all things new.
[piano solos]
Outro
I came with tears still on my face…
And there you were, waiting for me.
You smiled and said,
“You’re home.”
And for the first time in forever,
There was no goodbye.
We will stay forever.
We will stay forever.
Nothing will ever separate us again.
[Guitar Solo]
