These Moments from Every Goodbye by Patrice Richmond

This life is anything but ordinary, We live a long way from how it could be
And when you leave, I hope you see, the many ways that you were loved and carried

I wish that you could see how I see you, That you’d remember the way that I do
So when I’m gone and you live on, You won’t forget the life the light that you came from

Because as time goes I know, Yes I know something you don’t

These moments can’t last forever despite all this time together
And one day, you’ll take to wing and fly, you’ll fly
What could be said will have been said and leaving will be arriving instead
And that day, you’ll take to wing and fly

Your laugh will change it just won’t be the same, your little feet will grow to fill big shoes
And while my love for you will keep, there’s One who loves you even longer and deep

Because as time goes I know, Yes I really know what you don’t

Oh, stay together, as iron sharpens iron. Remember the Word as He is. Remember the Word as He lives.
