No Farewell

[Verse 1] I can still feel the echo of your laugh, now distant as a foreign sky You left for a country far away, and I’m learning how to say goodbye The daylight wears your absence like a veil I can’t lift from my eyes Was it real, was it true, the love we swore would never die? I trace your name on faded walls, in every crowd I look for you Distance stitches up my mornings, yet the night pulls you through If love was a map, I’d redraw the lines till they lead me back to you But the road is long, and the heart keeps asking how we ever knew [Chorus] I’ll keep you in the chambers of my heart, where morning never ends I’ll keep your memory close, my steadfast friend I won’t say goodbye, not while breath remains Thoughts of you stay alive in every breath I take I’m holding you here, even as we drift apart No farewell, no parting—just you in my heart [Verse 2] I trust in God to guide us home, through prayers I call your name aloud Each day I wake and mingle faith with hope, and I’m somehow vow-bound The flame of absence burns like fire, yet I won’t let it fade to ash In every prayer I see your face, in every dawn I feel your grasp I promise to love you beyond time, beyond the distance and the days Through trials and the silence, I’ll keep you in a constant praise [Chorus] I’ll keep you in the chambers of my heart, where morning never ends I’ll keep your memory close, my steadfast friend I won’t say goodbye, not while breath remains Thoughts of you stay alive in every breath I take I’m holding you here, even as we drift apart No farewell, no parting—just you in my heart [Bridge] If reunion waits on heaven’s door, I’ll wait with faith and prayer Until the moment comes, I’ll meet you there, somewhere [Chorus] I’ll keep you in the chambers of my heart, where morning never ends I’ll keep your memory close, my steadfast friend I won’t say goodbye, not while breath remains Thoughts of you stay alive in every breath I take I’m holding you here, even as we drift apart No farewell, no parting—just you in my heart [Outro] Stay with me in every heartbeat, until we find our way again Until then, you’re the sunrise I refuse to forget, amen
