lyrics

To the best man I've ever known, you stood by us till the end of your road.
You stayed strong through it all,
And I still can't believe you're gone.
I didn't know that this would be so hard.
The day we lost you, I completely fell apart.
We've never been so strong, yet so weak.
It's not easy losing the king of your family!

We could see that it was your time,
You needed rest, and you weren't fine.
Now the suffering is over, you can sleep in peace.
We'll love you forever,
you're finally free.
Rest in peace!

We will never forget the day you left!
You grew so cold as you took your last breath
I wish I could have said goodbye.
Just know I didn't take our time for granted.
We all wish we could have said goodbye!
We won't forget the lessons you've planted..
Inside our hearts and minds!

That's the first time I've seen her cry, my own mother, in my whole life!
A little piece of our hearts died that night.
Each little piece hoping to help you pass into the light
I know you'll be Waiting for us to come home.
I know you'll be watching over us, helping us judge what's right from wrong.

Now the suffering is over,
You can sleep in peace.
We'll love you forever,
You're finally free.
