Song For Matthew

(album: In Between The Now & Then - 2010)

Oh, are you really gone? Oh, are you really gone?
Oh, are you really not coming home with us, with us?
Oh, are you really gone? Oh, are you really gone?
'Cause I was looking forward to the day when you'd bring home your girl
To meet your father and I before the prom

And baby, baby
Oh, can you hear me?
We'll be waiting here
And maybe, maybe
When we finally meet again
We'll cry happy tears

But you're not really gone, you're not really gone
'Cause the life and breath you left behind lingers on
Your smile lingers on

And baby, baby
You can hear me
We'll be waiting here
And maybe, maybe
When we finally meet again
We'll cry happy tears

We miss you, we miss you
We miss you today
We hope you felt loved through
The pain of yesterday

Though you're in a better place now
It doesn't take away from
The way we wish to see your beautiful face somehow

We'll be waiting

And maybe, maybe
When we finally meet again
We'll cry happy tears
But for now, we just wish you were here
But for now, we just wish you were here
