NOW YOU'RE GONE

Now you're gone, I realize

You were a precious friend

You brightened up my cloudy skies

And loved me to the end

You led me to my real self

And showed me who I am

You took my heart off of the shelf

And let me know I can

So now I'm thanking you, my friend

For everything you've done

And to you my love I send

To you, my shining sun.
