One Sweet Day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away-ay-ay-ay

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling, knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive, alive

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends, we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together (together)
One sweet day, I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven

Darlin', I never showed you, ooh-no-no (I never showed you)
Assumed you'd always be there, always be there (I thought you'd always be there)
And I, I took your presence for granted
But I always cared (but I always cared)
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven (ooh)
Like so many friends, we've lost along the way (lost along the way)
And I know eventually we'll be together (I know, I know)
One sweet day
And all that I know is I'll wait patiently to see you in Heaven (whoa)

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day (yeah, yeah)
Lord, I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many (like so many) friends, we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together (yes I know, I know we'll be together)
(Yeah) one sweet day (one sweet day, one sweet day)

(Oh, yeah) and I know you're shining down on me from Heaven (I'll see you eventually)
Like so many friends, we've lost along the way (I know you're looking for a Heaven)
And I know, I know, I know eventually we'll be together
Ooh-ooh (yes, we will)
One sweet day (one sweet day)

Patiently to see you in Heaven
Sorry I never told you, ooh
All I wanted to say
