Hope it goes without saying but I'll say it.. I write Character songs about life, love, loss in culture around us.....and true songs on the love of Jesus Christ
I Wont Be There (C) 2025 Gregory Valentine
You can call all your friends,Get dressed up in black
Drive out to the church,Park in the back
You can stand in that line,With everybody asking why
You can cry because you cared,But I won't be there
If someone speaks a word or two,About the good man they knew
And they leave out the bad,You'll know it ain't the truth
A sinner saved by grace,That's all they need to say
Don't need that suit they made me wear,Cuz I won't be there
Chorus
Cuz Ill be halfway to heaven
If I aint already walking on those streets of gold
Yeah Ill be halfway to heaven
While they shovel the dirt in that cold dark hole
So when you see my grave
And the stone with my name
Just let amazing grace fill the air
Cuz I wont be there
bridge
Right now while your crying
Know that my soul is flying
To a place with no more tears
No more hurt and no more fears
Yeah,Ill be halfway to heaven
If I aint already walking on those streets of gold
Yeah Ill be halfway to heaven
While they shovel the dirt in that cold dark hole
So when you see my grave
And the stone with my name
Just let amazing grace fill the air
Cuz I wont be there
Yeah, when you see my grave
And the stone with my name
Just let amazing grace fill the air
Cuz I wont be there
