Lyrics:

If one morning finds my chair empty
And the house feels still and gray
Do not search the silent hallway
For words I meant to say
Life has seasons none can hold back
Like the night that follows day
But love does not stop breathing
When a soul has slipped away
So don't cry when I pass away
Lift your eyes beyond the skies
The road that waits beyond this world
Is where new hearts must say goodbye
The body rests beneath the earth
But the soul has found its way
So don't cry when I pass away
If the wind moves through the garden
And you hear a distant song
It might be just a memory
Of where my voice belonged
Every story that we carry
Every prayer we used to say
Still lives in quiet places
Where time can't wash away
So don't cry when I pass away
Just a path we walk a while
And heaven waits beyond the sorrow
Like the dawn beyond the night
So don't cry when I pass away
Though the world may feel alone
The love we built will follow you
Long after I am gone
And if someday your heart grows heavy
When the night feels cold and gray
Remember I am waiting there
So don't cry when I pass away
Mm, mm
When your journey reaches heaven
And the gates of light appear
You'll see a familiar smile
And know I've been waiting here
