Love You, Goodbye

Faded snapshots in picture frames of dipping marshmallows in the flames
All the memories how i'd hoped they'd last
Mad dash to lunch the car windows down, as we went cruisin' through the town
The relief in math class when we both passed
Laughing at pictures of the sixth grade play, now i wonder Paul, are you very far away?

Heavens just a little brighter, one more angels joined the staff
You're off to lighten every corner and make the sad soul laugh
Hope you'll walk sometimes beside us never leave us here alone
And though we'll never cease to miss you until our heavenly home
My,my,my how the time does fly
But I just came to say "I love you", and "Goodbye"

Our favorite actor, our #29, always serving, always kind
You'd lead the pack, you blew us all away
Best of the best, you're taken home
No doubt the best man we've ever know
You lived your life an everlasting May
Glancing through these pictures from age five til today
You're a gift you know, you were just too good to stay

Heavens just a little brighter, one more angels joined the staff
You're off to lighten every corner and make the sad soul laugh
Hope you'll walk sometimes beside us never leave us here alone
And though we'll never cease to miss you until our heavenly home
My, my, my how the time does fly
But I just came to say "I love you", and "Goodbye"

Is there a direct line, somewhere in space and time that we can get a word to you?
To thank you for all you've done, you've fought your fight, your battle's won
Now I hope God draws you near, we know you're always here

Heaven's just a little brighter, though there's a hole down here on earth
You were sent to be a blessing from the day of your birth
Though it was an early exit, we hope to pick up and tread your tracks y
Living the way that you would is the only way to have you back
My, my, my thankful for Jesus Christ
Til the day when its only "i love yous" and no "goodbyes"
Paul, I came to say "I love you" and "Goodbye"
