I did not know you

Our lives never touched

'Til the say they gathered

To bid you farewell

And they painted your picture

And as I looked around

I felt I saw you

In the words and the sound



Your talent came flowing

Through the stories they tell

And through the the faces

Of those who loved you so well

Your life gave them a treasure

A piece of themselves

Something to carry

And still serves them well



Just One Life

Just One Life

Just One LIfe

That is born, and is, and is gone

Just One Life

And I'm so glad to know you

As I know you



Perhaps inside you

You were messed up like me

But them you were whole and strong

And friend in their need

And what you left behind you

And what swept over me

Says that your life's work

Rolls on and on

A piece of eternity



Just One Life

Just One Life

Just One Life

That is born, and is, and is gone

Just One Life

Did you ever have the change to find out

What life is all about

I did not know you

Our lives never touched

'Til the day we gathered

To say our farewells
