Story behind the song
Lyrics were written the day after my mother passed away. Exactly one year later I wrote the music and went through my lyric book as is my custom, and the lyrics seemed to jump out and fit pefectly.
Lyrics
I wasn’t ready to say goodbye I thought we’d have time for a few more words I would have held your hand a little bit longer done what I could to help you feel more secure Were you afraid I know you fought until the very end Before you left you said I love you more than you can imagine before you left you said how proud you were of me I miss you now and it’s only been one day knowing I’ll never see you again in this life it hurts to believe Have you found peace tell me it’s better on the other side are you really free temporary is our goodbye Life will never be the same again for those of us now left behind grief fills the hearts of your loved ones and friends we all feel this emptiness inside Chorus - It’s hard to say goodbye I wasn’t ready to say goodbye ooh it’s hard to say goodbye I guess I have to say goodbye --solo-- I wish I would’ve spent a little more time with you and comforted you more in times of fear seems so unfair you had to leave this life so soon the moment you breathed your last, you shed a tear Were you afraid I know you fought until the very end did you get to say all you wanted to say in Jesus have you found a friend Life will never be the same again for those of us now left behind grief fills the hearts of your loved ones and friends we all feel this emptiness inside Chorus
