This version is a full-production and includes the vocals. This is a profound song that deals with issues we are all enduring due to unexpected deaths. Those left behind are left to whisper, "I never said 'Goodbye'". What a numbing situation to be thrust in to, but there is hope ... which is one thing we have left to holdback the tears.
This is a tender song that deals with the issues we all endure when a loved-one crosses over to the next realms. What a numbing situation to have to face. But we have hope and loving memories ... which can help us endure thru grief, which I think is the most powerful, immersive emotion. When it occurs we need to band together and care for those in need ...
This version is a full-production and includes the vocals.

We never said goodbye and it’s haunting me
Since I heard the news that dropped me to my knees
No goodbye, what a way for love to end
When the spark of sudden tragedy
Mixed ashes with the wind?
Where is it we go
When it’s time that we’re called home?
And how am I to know
We’ll meet again and not let go?
Will we be like flames
That merge to light our way
To stroll the breathing shorelines
And dance above the waves?
But, how I am to keep my faith
When a heart that once was mine
Waits beyond the hills we climbed
Across the sands of time?
Where every grain of sand
Holds a memory
Of every prayer we prayed
Oh, and every dream we dreamed
Where’s the bridge to cross
That’ll take me further home
Closer to the arms
That I yearn to hold?
Just like drifting clouds
We split and fade away
Till autumn winds draw us back
To squeeze us tight and make us rain
And when the harvest bells fill the air
And ring out one last time
That’s when our hearts combine
That’s when our hearts combine
When your hand’s holding mine
And we cross the sands of time
And we cross the sands of time
And we cross the sands of time
