In the ground below,
my sleeping friend,
you lay, you lay as my sorrow flows,
for it has not been that long,
and I am in pain,
that you had to go,
and I wish it was not so,
and as my tears they fall to the Earth,
my heart aches and I am broken by the loss of you,
for the shock is still palpable to me,
and intense and as difficult it is to deal with,
and as difficult as anything that I know,
and as you lay my sleeping friend,
in the ground below,
oh, how my sorrow flows,
and it always will,
it always will I know,
for I can never replace you,
and in my heart and in my mind,
you will be remembered forever more,
for you meant more to me,
than you will ever know,
so, rest well my sleeping friend,
and I will keep a candle lit for you,
burning bright inside me,
and I will never forget you,
and I will never let you go,
I will never let you go.
