I don’t want to say goodbye
Don’t want you to see me cry
But in the end, that sweet by and by
We will meet again.

You remind me, Lee, of me
A bound-up soul, set free
Life struggles overcome
A chance to bask in the sun.

All too short, this life seems
But in not-so-distant dreams
We know this fading world
Is but a path to the King.

Our King, He came, like me
In humanness, to be
Then hung upon that tree
To set us free.

He knew hot tears and cool springs
The love that friendship brings
Now he hears angels sing
So will we.

You and I,
We’ve known sweet-smelling children, rough-bearded men
Giggles with girlfriends, aloneness, amends,
Fear beyond reason, and joy in its season
Love is the reason. Amen.
