Knowing You'll Be There

The other day I passed the place You always liked to go And I picked up the phone because I thought you'd want to know But I forgot you weren't there I miss you all these days That I'm reminded of your smile And the funny things you'd say I miss you most at Christmas You were like a little kid You always loved a good surprise And now I must admit That I long more for heaven Than I ever did before You give me one more reason And each day I want it more Knowing we can spend a lifetime Reminiscing on the past Knowing I will see your face again Where tender moment last It makes me wanna be there Knowing I won't be alone Knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home You left a group of fishermen Somehow you left me too And though I've felt you many times And know you saw me through I've always long to feel your arms And look into your eyes And talk forever me and you Somewhere in paradise --- Knowing You'll Be There - Bill Gaither, Gaither Vocal Band, Gloria Gaither and Bill & Gloria Gaither
