Not Goodbye
Embracing Eternal Connections: "Not Goodbye" by Colton Dixon
Lyrics
One more day is never enough
Expressing the desire for more time, feeling that a day is insufficient.
One more moment will deepen the cut
Acknowledging that additional moments can intensify emotional pain.
I'm trying to see it the way that You would
Attempting to perceive a situation from a divine perspective.
It's hard to believe that I stand where You stood, but I
Struggling to accept standing in a position where a higher power once stood.
Feel your spirit lifting me up
Sensing a spiritual force uplifting and supporting the individual.
Here's to the ones who have gone up ahead
Toasting and honoring those who have passed away.
You light up the stars in the night
Recognizing the enduring influence of those who have departed, likened to stars illuminating the night sky.
Here's to the ones we will never forget
Paying tribute to unforgettable individuals who will always be remembered.
We'll meet again when it's time
Expressing confidence in meeting again in the afterlife.
It's see you again, not goodbye
Emphasizing the perspective of reuniting rather than bidding farewell.
It's been hard, I'm doing my best, yeah
Conveying the difficulty faced while making an earnest effort.
But you're still right here, here in my chest
Feeling a continued presence in the heart despite physical absence.
With tears in my eyes and a smile on my face
Experiencing a mix of emotions—tears and smiles—when reminiscing.
I think of the moments, remembered the ways that you
Reflecting on shared moments and recalling the departed's ways.
Walked through fire and danced in the rain
Remembering resilience in facing challenges and finding joy in adversity.
Here's to the ones who have gone up ahead
Celebrating and honoring those who have preceded the speaker in passing away.
You light up the stars in the night
Reiterating the lasting impact of departed individuals, likened to stars.
Here's to the ones we will never forget
Expressing a commitment to eternal remembrance.
We'll meet again when it's time
Anticipating a future reunion when the time is right.
It's see you again, not goodbye
Reiterating the sentiment that parting is not a final farewell but a temporary separation.
Here's to the ones who have gone up ahead
Honoring various relationships, emphasizing the impact on stars in the night sky.
You light up the stars in the night
Continuing to highlight the enduring influence of departed loved ones.
Brothers, sisters, family and friends
Specifically mentioning brothers, sisters, family, and friends who have passed away.
We'll meet again when it's time
Reiterating the belief in a future meeting when the time is appropriate.
I'll see you again
Affirming a personal commitment to encountering the departed again.
Here's to the ones who have gone up ahead
Recalling and honoring those who have gone ahead in various aspects of life.
You light up the stars in the night
Stressing the enduring impact, symbolized by stars in the night sky.
Here's to the ones we will never forget
Reiterating the pledge to remember and honor those who have left.
We'll meet again when it's time
Expressing confidence in a future reunion when the time is right.
It's see you again, not goodbye
Reiterating the perspective that saying goodbye is not a final farewell.
It's see you again, not goodbye
Emphasizing once again that parting is a temporary separation, not a permanent farewell.
It's see you again, not goodbye
Concluding with the reiterated message that farewells are not permanent, signaling hope for future reunions.
