When I cross that Jordan wide,
she'll be waiting on the other side.
To take my hand and lead me on,
to live up there in our heavenly home.

But until that day I must stay,
here on this earth to watch and pray.
I'll miss her with every breath I take.
With each tear that falls, my heart will break.

I see her face wherever I go.
She never leaves me, this I know.

My love I can share with another,
But for today, there is no other.
She continues to brighten my smile.
Each time I think of her, I stop awhile.
She listens quietly to my every word.
I whisper softly, but I know she heard.

I loved her then and I love her now.
My life must go on, but I don't know how.
How does someone put a love in the past?
How does someone love again,
when my love for her will always last?

Someday she'll come to me and say,
"Get on with your life, don't waste another day.
Life's too short to worry about me.
I'm safe in the Father's arms, don't you see."
