"I'm Still Here" By John F. Connor I may be gone but please don't cry Death is not the last goodbye. Death releases me of my pain, There will come a day we will meet again. Don't be blue and don't be sad, Think back to the fun we had. I am always here, I hear you speak, In time of trouble, it's me you seek. You don't see me, but I see you, I will do my best to pull you through. Speak to me and I will hear, Never far, I am always near. Be brave my love, do not cry, See you again, it's not goodbye.
