Hope it goes without saying but I'll say it.. I write Character songs about life, love, loss in culture around us.....and true songs on the love of Jesus Christ
I Won't Be There Greg Valentine
You can call all your friends
Get dressed up in black
Drive out to the church
Park in the back
You can stand in that line
With everybody asking why
You can cry because you cared
But I won't be there
If someone speaks a word or two
About the good man they knew
And they leave out the bad
You'll know it ain't the truth
A sinner saved by grace
That's all they need to say
Don't need that suit they made me wear
Cuz I won't be there
Right now while your crying
Know that my soul is flying
To a place with no more tears
No more hurt and no more fear
So when you see my name on that gravestone
Just thank the good Lord with a prayer
I won't be there
You might see a box
And a cold dark hole
But that ain't gonna be
Where I call home
I'll be high above
Wrapped in the Father's love
In a place where
We'll never grow old
Right now while your crying
Know that my soul is flying
To a place with no more tears
No more hurt and no more fear
So when you see my name on that gravestone
Let amazing grace fill the air
Cuz I won't be there
I won't be there
