'In Case You Didn't Know'

By: Joyce McMullen

In case you didn't know I've moved on to heaven

But I'll be back again every now and then.

You might sense me there surrounded by my light

You might recall a memory of a moment shared in life

You might hear our song float across the breeze

You might think of me to make you feel at ease

In case you didn't know the love you shared with me

Has stayed within my soul and kept you near to me

In case you didn't know I will always love you so
