[Intro: Pez]
Yeah, there I was
[Verse 1: Pez]
Staring out the window in the car, I
Half cried watching all the cars as they pa**ed by
In my head I was just having such a hard time
Trying to comprehend it, saw you for the last time, Grandma
And as mum turned around and gazed at me
I could see the pain in her eyes but she
Kept telling me it's alright, it's alright
It'll be all okay
So I tried to shake it off and get my mind prepared
Having visions, reminiscing on the time we shared
I remember walking in and seeing you just lying there
Tryed to stare down and hide the fact that I was scared
I made a final prayer, it was no use
Because we both knew this was something that we'd have to go through
I just never thought that it would be so soon
sh**, I mean I'm only just getting to know you
[Hook 1: Paul Kelly]
We said goodbye, tears in our eyes
[?] what I didn't know why
[Verse 2: Pez]
It's like I felt a part of me that opened up
For that moment that we spoke and I closed it shut
And I know, it's part of growing up
But I was only young, so the load was tough to overcome
Cos things have changed, I miss the way
You always seem to transport me to this blissful place
Where we drift away
And all the worries in the world would just dissapate
So, when I reach my final resting place
I don't know if you'll be there to open heaven's gate
Or my ghost will just float off into empty space
Whatever end awaits, I hope I see my friend again
Until then, in my mind the time we shared just never fades
I still remember it like it was yesterday
Although I was devastated when you went away
In my memory, you'll forever be there to stay
[Hook 2: Paul Kelly]
We said goodbye, tears in our eyes
[?] what I didn't know why
You're livin' on
You're livin' on, in my mind (yeah, you're still right here)
You're livin' on
You're livin' on, in my mind
[Bridge: Paul Kelly]
When I'm broken and I need to mend
I talk it over with my old friend
She don't say much, not too much at all
But I feel better every time we talk
When I'm happy, skippin' on it
She's right with me, she's always there
I feel her smile, then she's gone
But not for long, she keeps living on
[Hook 3: Paul Kelly]
Never goodbye, you're still on my mind
I'm walking through life, you're walking behind
Never goodbye, you're still on my mind (yeah, you're still right here)
I'm walking through life, you're walking behind (yeah)
You're livin' on
You're livin' on in my mind (yeah, you're still right here)
You're livin' on
You're livin' on in my mind
[Outro: Paul Kelly]
You're livin' on
You're livin' on through time
