Occurred to me the other day 
You been gone now a couple years 
Well I guess it takes a while 
For someone to really disappear 
And I remember where I was 
When the word came about you 
It was a day much like today 
The sky was bright and wide and blue 

And I wonder where you are 
And if the pains ends when you die 
And I wonder if there was 
Some better way to say goodbye 

Today my heart is big and sore 
It's tryin' to push right through my skin 
Won't see you anymore 
I guess that's finally sinkin' in 
'Cause you can't make somebody see 
With the simple words you say 
All their beauty from within 
Sometimes they just look away 

And I wonder where you are 
And if the pains ends when you die 
And I wonder if there was 
Some better way to say goodbye 
Some better way to say goodbye
