"Wherever You Are Tonight" lyrics - KENNY CHESNEY

Don't know where I was when I first heard
That you had left for parts unknown
I struggled some to find the word
To convince myself that you were gone

If where we go defies all explanation
And on my pain there came a revelation

Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve
We die, we go, but never leave
We linger in the lives of those we love
We're flesh and bone in beams of light
A body breaks, a soul takes flight
And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch
You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight

I am better now for who you were
You always found the truth in me
More patient than this world deserves
Everything a friend should be

If heaven is our final destination
The love we leave behind is our salvation

Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve
We die, we go, but never leave
We linger in the lives of those we love
We're flesh and bone in beams of light
A body breaks, a soul takes flight
And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch
You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight

We're flesh and bone in beams of light
A body breaks, a soul takes flight
And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch
You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight
