Verse 1:
It’s been a while since you’ve gone, gone back to heaven.
I hope you’re OK there.
Mom and I are coping, moving forward
Handling what we can bear
You said I shouldn’t feel so lonely
if by chance you’re gone too soon.
So I followed your advice to
get me through this gloom.
Pre chorus:
I started writing stories, mem’ries of you
And this has helped me feel comforted and assured,
Chorus:
That you’re just right here
That you’re just right here, that you are near.
That in these times of isolation,
Dad, with you, there’s still a connection.
That you’re just right here,
Here in my heart that’s yearning for your presence,
Despite the emptiness caused by your absence, I know
That you’re just right here.
Verse 2:
I wrote about the time when I was a kid,
you played with me night and day.
I, I wrote about the time Mom told me
she’s the luckiest woman cause she has you.
I wrote about how you said you love me still
though I failed your expectations.
That time I knew, for sure,
I truly was blessed having you as my father.
Pre-chorus:
Writing all these mem’ries helped me understand,
though you’ve passed away, your loving influence is still found.
Chorus:
It’s found right here.
Yes, you’re just right here, oh, so near.
In these times of isolation,
These stories help me to still feel a connection,
That you’re just right here,
Here in my heart that’s yearning for your presence.
Despite the emptiness caused by your absence, I know
That you’re just right here.
Chorus:
You’re just right here.
Writing these mem’ries make you feel near.
It isn’t the perfect way to move on
But it gave me hope that I could carry on.
You’re just right here,
Here in my heart that’s yearning for your presence.
Despite the emptiness caused by your absence, I know
That you’re just right here.
Despite you’re not with us now, but in heaven, I know
That you’re just right here.
