i heard today that you were gone
i had to stop and sing along
the song they played to say goodbye

a song that gave, gave me back life

[chorus]


you'll never fade
the words you gave

my life you saved
your name was layne
and on that day a child was born

to someone who you helped along
and helped see through his darkest times
because of you, this child she is mine


[chorus]



[bridge]


the words you said, you made me feel like they were all
for me
the words you said, they will always be a part of me

the words you said, you made me feel like i was not
alone
the words you said, you gave me all the strength to

carry on

[chorus (altered)]


so to me you'll never fade
your life you gave

my life you saved
your name was layne
