If Not Here
Written by Kelly Riley

In the past we were the best of friends
You were with me through it all
Our spare time spent together
Every night I got a call

With each day that past for us
You grew closer to my heart
A special love between us
I thought would never part

Just an ordinary day
No different than before
How was I to know that
the last time I'd see you
Was when you walked out my door

It was those times that I remember
Those times I won't let die
Because I know that deep in my heart
You don't want to see me cry

Yet baby it hurts me now to know
We're not together as in the past
No calls are heard on my phone tonight
Those days were over all too fast

But I carry this hope
Deep within my heart
And in my soul tonight
That if I can't be with you on earth
In heaven it will be made right

If not here together
I'm trying with all my might
If not here with you baby
Please wait in heaven for me tonight

Because God holds us both
In his hand right now
tonight
So even though I can't see you
With his love we have each other in sight.
And if I lose my way on Earth
I'll just listen to my heart
Because even though your not with me
It's there you'll never part
Your light is shining down from heaven
Your love will be my guide
So until I'm walking with you in heaven
In heart I'm by your side

That's why I carry this hope
Deep within my heart
And in my soul tonight
That if I can't see you baby
In heaven it will be made right.

If not here together
Please keep your star shining bright
So I can look at it above
and know it will be made right...

If not here...
It will be made right...
