There’s only one story in the world today, as far as my people are concerned.
Go to Hazel‘s to hear it.
I will tell you how I come into it later.
‘WILL THEY REMEMBER ME WHEN I’M GONE?’
MISSING
By Susan Musgrave
Missing’s a word that can’t begin to describe
the way I miss you more each day;
You left to chase the wind on high
and the rain rained down to stay.
Will they remember me when I’m gone, you said,
when I’ve kissed goodbye to pain;
Or will their lives just carry on
in the small hours of the rain.
You may be lost in the eyes of the world,
but how can I set you free;
When there’s a whole empty world in my aching heart,
you’re the missing part of me.

CHORUS
How far from home is “missing”?
In our prayers you’re close beside us every
day;
When you left to chase the wind so high,
the rain moved in to stay.
Will they remember me when I’m gone,
you said,
when I’ve kissed goodbye to pain;
Or will their lives just carry on
in the small hours of the rain.
You may be an orphan in the eyes of the
world,
can we ever love anyone enough?
You’ll always have a home in our loving
hearts,
You’re the missing part of us.

CHORUS
How far from home is “missing”?
In our prayers you’re close beside us every
day;
When you left to chase the wind so high,
the rain moved in to stay.
Will they remember me when I’m gone,
you said, when I’ve kissed goodbye to pain;
Or will their lives just carry on
in the small hours of the rain.
How can we believe in a merciful world
that could never believe in you enough?
Take what strength you need from our
fearless hearts,
You’re the missing part of us.

CHORUS
Missing means you’re gone, I can’t find you;
My dear one, I’ll never hold you again.
You left to chase the wind too high
and the rain can’t wash my tears away.
Will they remember me when I’m gone,
you said,
when I’ve kissed goodbye to pain;
Or will their lives just carry on
in the small hours of the rain.
You may have disappeared in the eyes of the
world,
but when I close my eyes I’ll always see
your name, they way you smile, inside my
wishful heart,
The missing part of me.
