"One Sweet Day" lyrics

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away, so far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feelin', knowin' you hear me
It keeps me alive, alive

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together (together)
One sweet day

I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven

Darling, I never showed you (I never showed you) (no, no, no)
Assumed you'd always be there (I thought you'd always be there)
And I, I took your presence for granted
But I always cared (but I always cared)
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way (lost along the way)
And I know eventually (I know, I know...) we'll be together (we'll be together)
One sweet day
You know that I know, yes
I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven)

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together (together)
One sweet day (one sweet day)

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
(I will see you eventually)
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
(I know you're looking down from heaven)
And I know eventually we'll be together
Yes we will
One sweet day
(Eventually we'll sing in heaven)

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
