Lyrics
You Are Living On
By Dave Colvin
VERSE 1 JUST THE OTHER EVENING WE WERE TALKING ON THE PHONE
YOUR ADVICE WAS SURE AND STEADY BUT YOUR VOICE WAS NOT AS STRONG
NOW THAT BODY'S FINALLY FAILED YOU HEAVEN'S CALLED YOU TO COME HOME
YET WE KNOW YOU HAVE NOT LEFT US ALL ALONE
CHORUS YOU ARE LIVING ON IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO LOVE YOU
YOU ARE LIVING ON IN ALL THE LIVES YOU HAVE TOUCHED
THIS IS NOT AN ENDING - THOUGH PHYSICALLY YOU'RE GONE
YOU ARE LIVING ON - YOU ARE LIVING ON
VERSE 2 THE NEWS OF YOUR LEAVING US CAME AS QUITE A SHOCK
EVEN WHEN IT IS EXPECTED WE WANT MORE TIME ON THAT CLOCK
NOW WE GATHER ALL TOGETHER LEANING ON EACH OTHER'S LOVE
KNOWING YOU ARE WATCHING US FROM ABOVE
CHORUS YOU ARE LIVING ON IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO LOVE YOU
YOU ARE LIVING ON IN ALL THE LIVES YOU HAVE TOUCHED
THIS IS NOT AN ENDING - THOUGH PHYSICALLY YOU'RE GONE
YOU ARE LIVING ON
IN OUR HEARTS YOU WLL NEVER BE GONE
CAUSE YOU ARE LIVING ON
