You've just walked on ahead of us

And we've got to understand. We must release the ones we love

And let go of their hand. We try and cope the best we can

But we're missing you so much. If we could only see you

And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you've just walked on ahead of us

Don't worry we'll be fine.

But now and then we feel your hand slip into ours.
