It's Hard to Say Goodbye; Dear Friend

Can't look upon the lifeless shell

This chrysalis from which you fly

Can't look upon your grave and cry

No mournful dirge, you did not die

Like passing clouds we'll say farewell

Can't look upon the lifeless shell

The sun that brightens up the gloom

Your smile, a summer rose in bloom

Can't look upon your grave and cry

Our hearts won't say the last goodbye

Say it's not true, it's just a lie

Can't look upon the lifeless shell

Bring back the shocked numbed disbelief

Before the squall of pain and grief

Can't look upon your grave and cry

Inside we rage, this isn't fair

That life goes on though you're not here

Can't look upon the lifeless shell

Can't look upon your grave and cry
