I Hope You Knew
Did you know that you were loved
Though I told you everyday
Did you know that you would leave
upon that fateful day
If only all those friends had said
how much you meant to them
Their words of love and joy sweet boy
If only they had told you then...
Times when you just wanted to
switch off the thoughts inside your head
Times when you awoke so low
you could not get up out of bed
I hope you saw how many friends
took time to say goodbye
The chapel it was packed so tight
they pressed against the door
And truly son they couldn’t get
Not one more friend
No room for more
So rest assured my gentle giant
so many came to say
That you had meant so much to them
So distraught were they
As I wake up each day my son
I just want you to know
That you were loved
I hope you knew
So many friends came just for you
