No Farewell Words Were Spoken
No time to Say Godbye
You Were Gone Before We Knew It
And Only God Knows Why
Why Did You Have to Go?
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO?
Hey Brent – why did you have to go?
Was it God telling you so?
Surely it was just a dream
After all, you were only eighteen
I mourn the life you would have had
Just the thought is overwhelmingly sad
Hey Brent – why did you have to go?
Was it God telling you so?
I think about you every day
God how I wish you could’ve stayed!
You have made your mark here on earth
That must have been the plan since birth
Hey Brent – why did you have to go?
Was it God telling you so?
You left behind your family and friends
All whose hearts are trying to mend
It’s not the easiest thing to do
But neither was losing you!
Hey Brent – why did you have to go?
Was it God telling you so?
May 3rd was the day your car was broken and bent
It was also the day of your glorious ascent
I guess this is how your life was to be told
Born to live to eighteen years old
Hey Brent – why did you have to go?
Was it God telling you so?
Your spirit touched those who needed you most
Your body was just merely the host
I love you Brent with all of my heart
I will see you again when it’s my turn to part
I guess it was your time to go
You must of heard God telling you so!
