Name: Bittersweet
Duration: P00H03M52S
Description: This song is about losing someone you love. It is always bittersweet. We miss them being around, their smile and personality, but we know they are in a better place than this. They would never want us to dwell in the sadness of them leaving, but to smile in the hope we will see them again one day. Hope endures all things.

lyrics

Bittersweet (the long farewell) by Jay Broussard- dedicated to John Baker.

My friends why are you crying now?
I gave it all, lived out loud.
There’s no doubt I will see your face, when I meet you in that better place.

It’s bittersweet, when will we meet again?
I find myself doubting just about everything.
We will never truly understand, but now God he holds your hand, and you fly fly far away from here.

My friends please don’t look down.
Everything is above and ahead of you now.
Don’t let any day go to waste, make the most of this place.
It might take a little while, but I know I’ll see you smile.
