Suddenly it Happens

It happened to sudden
I didn’t see it coming
It crept up on me and stained my family
Lost one that I love

I can’t breathe I’m hyperventilating
Just lowered one I love
But it happens real sudden
Before you can get your balance

Doesn’t make it any easier
I just lost someone that I love and adore

Didn’t think it be this soon
So I am not prepared for this

But don’t get down everyone has their day
Think about how you used to laugh and sing about

Don’t know how to end this song
Because someday I’ll be one of us

But I dip back into happy times and memories
Think about all they meant to me and you
 So I go to the funeral

Not a time to cry but a time to get up and sing out
All the things you love about em
Even if they pissed you off sometimes

It’s your party day so you wear your Sunday best

And I’ll sing out everything you’re all about
I’ll let them know all about you

Let them know
You are gone but
You live within me

Let them know
You are gone but
You live within me
