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?

 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!
