(C) Left With Words Unsaid - Raymond Bruns (All Rights Reserved)

The day I helped you get into that truck somehow I knew
That was God giving me the chance to say goodbye to you
Getting the call from the nurse, as they began chest compressions
I look back now hoping you knew you left a lasting impression

An impression of love and laughter
Getting us both closure is what I was after
Not getting to be by your side is something I cannot stand
Not getting to pray with you or hold your hand

As we raced to the hospital to get there in time
A lifetime of memories raced through my mind
Wanting to spill out a lifetime of thank yous and I love yous
It was something I had hoped I'd get to do

It was too late, as we get another call, you had passed away
I'm left speechless, I don't know what to say

But,
My heart is broken
Filled with words unspoken
A lifetime of memories races through my mind
Thinking of you all of the time

I pray you were at peace when you died
So many times I've just laid and cried
Holiday's and special occasions with a chair left empty at each one
My heart is left heavy missing your presence and fun

Again,
Left with my heart broken
Filled with words left unspoken
The memories still race through my mind
As I think about you, missing you all of the time

The worlds happenings continue to remind me of you
It's a regular occurrence in the things I see and do
Your presence is felt when the Cardinals fly by
Reminding me you are my guardian angel always nearby

I want you to know, I'm getting peace as the years go by
I know you're not suffering and in Heaven with the Big Guy
There joking with past friends and family and at peace
Believing all that puts my heart and mind at ease

I'll always love you to the moon and back
The love you gave me is something I'll never lack

But, I'd be lying if I said,

A piece of my heart won't always be broken
Nor that I won't be filled with words left unspoken
And that the memories won't regularly race through my mind
As I think about you during the rest of my lifetime
