Just One Day

If I could come back for just one day

I know exactly what I would say

To my family and friends and those who I loved

As a message from God who speaks from above.

I would say It’s ok to be sad for a while

But what I really want most is to see your smile,

And for you to go on and live once again.

I know that you loved me with all of your heart

And that none of you wanted for me to depart.

I don’t quite understand it myself

But I know you’ll get by with a little help.

Yes, I would say to be sad for a day

And to do what you need to do.

And then lift up your eyes

To the wonder of the sky

And know that I loved you too.
