Don't Tell Me Not To Miss Him

Yesterday I said goodbye
To a true and cherished friend
Hundreds came from miles around
To pay their respects to him
The grief is overwhelming
And it hurts so much to know
I won't see him in the places
We used to love to go.

Chorus -
Don't tell me not to miss him
His laugh, his voice, his smile
I know that he's in heaven
But I still need to cry awhile
Please, don't tell me not to miss him.

Knowing he's with Jesus now
And that all his pain is gone
Brings some peace and comfort
And the will to carry on
But it doesn't stop my heart from aching
Or the emptiness I can't bear
When I reach for the phone to call him
Forgetting, he's not there.

Repeat Chorus -
