I haven’t seen you in a long time
But I’d still recognize
Your sweet face,
Your happy smile,
And your laughing eyes

I haven’t seen you in a long time
But still your heart I’d know
Your heart -
your heart Amy,
the warmest I’ve ever known.

I haven’t seen you in a long time
But I’ll offer up a prayer
you should know
that I will keep forever
All the memories we share

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But look, a photo you gave me when we were young!
You’re arm wrapped around my shoulder…
Now in my room,
The photo of us is hung.

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But remember when I was new?
You showed me around, and showed me kindness
And I thought,
the nicest girl in the class is definitely, undeniably you

I haven’t seen you in a long time
- well, actually that’s a lie
I’m so, so very sorry,
I once saw you,
But didn’t say stop to say goodbye

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But it’s still hard to accept
That death cannot be reversed
And for you, your friends and family
I have often wept

I haven’t seen you in a long time
There’s no way to explain the guilt I feel,
the emptiness, the absolute hole in my heart
that only you can fill
Amy, it’s going to take a long time to heal

I haven’t seen you in a long time,
But you’re messing with my head
I’m trying, really trying to accept
That the girl who was always full of life,
Is prematurely dead.
