I never got to say goodbye

never got to say goodbye went to class like it was another day

never thought youd be gone when i got home gone forever

no time to cry no time to mourn for i had a child to care for

a child you loved so much whose very smile brought you joy

you were my best friend, an uncle so dear yet i never got to say goodbye



goodbye to my best friend and my right hand man

to the man who loved me like a daughter i miss you so

i never got to say goodbye my heart is broken

did you think i didnt care did you think i was selfish

i could not stand to see you in pain so i withdrew and backed away

never knowing those were your last days

had i known i would have stayed by your side

every waking moment of every day until you left this world

i would have said goodbye but things did not turn out the way i liked

i never got to say goodbye



i miss you so

i love you so

in my heart you live on

with every day and every memory you live on

i never got to say goodbye


so here it goes

from the bottom of my broken heart

the words I never thought I could say

the words that take you away

the words that make this all so real

Goodbye, Uncle Jr, Goodbye

I finally got to say goodbye
