You Just Never Knew

I just heard the news today      
I could only find the strength to pray      
So many years has passed away      
With tears in my eyes, I just have to say      
     
I wish you peace and happiness      
I hope all your dreams came true      
May the path within the light be without sacrifice      
I hope you never feel you had to pay a price      
I hope you find forgiveness without a vice      
My heart will always be with you      
You were more than a friend you just never knew      
     
Life is like a book we never read      
Until it's time for us to beg and plead      
To face that our life is only to cede      
Then we realize that we're here only to bleed      
     
(Instrumental)      
     
I wish you peace and happiness      
I hope all your dreams came true      
May the path within the light be without sacrifice      
I hope you never feel you had to pay a price      
I hope you find forgiveness without a vice      
My heart will always be with you      
You were more than a friend you just never knew      
     
I'll never hold your hand      
But I know you'll understand      
Your memory will be forever written in the sand      
Standing in the hall was never your plan      
     
I wish you peace and happiness      
I hope all your dreams came true      
May the path within the light be without sacrifice      
I hope you never feel you had to pay a price      
I hope you find forgiveness without a vice      
My heart will always be with you      
You were more than a friend you just never knew      
     
You just never knew...      
You just never knew...
