I know you had to leave us for heaven
 
 It's alright
 
 The living here ain't easy to take now
 
 But it's alright
 
 Don't matter 'cause I will never lose the joy you've given me
 
 Wish I could have told you so
 
 Just once before God set you free
 
 Let it be 'cause
 
  
  You
 
 (Don't leave me lonely)
 
 No you leave me
 
 (Longing for you)
 
 You
 
 (Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
 
 I'm longing for you
  
 
 We could have spent more time together
 
 (It's alright, alright)
 
 The things I could have said, now I'll never
 
 It's alright
 
 Don't worry, child
 
 I believe the prayer we prayed for a brighter day
 
 This is why we build our faith on someone
 
 Who never fades away
 
 I'm here to say that
  
 
 You
 
 (Don't leave me lonely)
 
 No you leave me
 
 (I'm longing for you)
 
 And you
 
 (Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
 
 Longing for you
 
 (Don't leave me lonely)
 
 Don't leave me lonely
 
 (I'm longing for you)
 
 And you
 
 (Don't leave me lonely)
 
 Oh no, and I'm longing for you
  
 
 Jesus, keep my longing heart from breaking clean in two
 
 Oh, stand by me, Lord, and help me see this through
 
 'Cause a Father knows how bad it feels to lose someone
 
 To lose someone
 
 To lose a son like you
  
 
 (Don't leave me lonely)
 
 Don't leave me lonely
 
 (I'm longing for you)
 
 Ah, oh!
 
 (Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
 
 Oh no!
 
 (Don't leave me lonely)
 
 You don't leave me lonely, ah
 
 (I'm longing for you)
 
 Ah, you
 
 (Don't leave me lonely, lonely for you)
 
 For you
 
 (Don't leave me lonely
 
 I'm longing for you)
 
 Yeah!
 
 (Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
 
 Longing for you!
