Good-Bye-Christine Dente

One day went running on a grassy field Too few came following Your spirit flew this earthy place And so with heavy hearts, yet a certain sense of joy We say good-bye And we are left to question What do we do with this? A day we all expect, yet unexpected always is How beautiful the hope of those who know Where they will go He set us free So we need not be afraid We need not stay longer than the number of our days Let us love Mourn and suffer for His sake Until the day it dawns on us when we must say Good-bye See, we're the ones who wonder We the ones who live To read and write and ponder 'til our eyes begin to dim How glorious the joy of those who go They already know He set us free So we need not be afraid We need not stay longer than the number of our days Let us love Mourn and suffer for His sake Until the day it dawns on us when we must say Good-bye On a day like today my heart is bound a little less To the tight and tiring vanities of life Like a butterfly emerging, struggling to be free I feel the lift, I sense the give it takes To send me flying from this earthy place He set us free So we need not be afraid We need not stay longer than the number of our days Let us love Mourn and suffer for His sake Until the day it dawns when we must say Good-bye Tears in our eyes, we say good-bye, too soon to fly, We wonder why, we say good-bye
