Lucas Hoge - Who's Gonna Be There lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

At a country church not far from where I came from

I was payin' last respects to my old friend

When it came time the congregation stood up

And it looked like that whole town came out for him

It got me thinkin' - have I done all I can do?

Have I lived in such a way that when my time is through

(Chorus)

Did I love, deep enough

That my friends knew I cared

Was I willing to share?

Did I give of myself?

Did the world out there know

I was even here?

Did I take, did I serve

Will they celebrate my life here on earth?

Who's gonna be there to say goodbye?

(Verse 2)

Well, I know he didn't have a dime to speak of

But I swear he was the richest man I knew

He left quite an impression on the heart strings

Of every soul he chanced to run into

There's no-one he wouldn't talk to, no man he wouldn't help

As they laid him in the ground once again I asked myself

(Chorus)

Did I love, deep enough

That my friends knew I cared

Was I willing to share?

Did I give of myself?

Did the world out there know

I was even here?

Did I take, did I serve

Will they celebrate my life here on earth?

Who's gonna be there to say goodbye?

Who's gonna be there to say goodbye?
