Lyrics to Gone But Not Forgotten

I woke up today and you were the first thought on my mind
I couldn't help but think about the day you died
And it don't make no sense and there ain't a reason why
But ever since you left you've been on my mind

'Cause you're gone but not forgotten
And moving on is not an option
So no matter where you go I will always hold you close
'Cause you're gone but not forgotten

Not forgotten, not forgotten
Not forgotten, not forgotten

I'll say your name just to bring you back alive
I pray today that you believed in Jesus Christ
And I'm not ashamed to say that I still cry
'Cause I won't forget you if you're the last thought on my mind

'Cause you're gone but not forgotten
And moving on is not an option
So no matter where you go I will always hold you close
'Cause you're gone but not forgotten

Not forgotten, not forgotten
Not forgotten, not forgotten

In the day I see your face, opening those pearly gates
I'ma praise the one who made us, and I'm running your way

'Cause you were gone, but not forgotten
And moving on was not an option
'Cause no matter where you go, I will always hold you close
'Cause you were gone, but not forgotten

Not forgotten, not forgotten
Not forgotten, you're not forgotten
