Patrick Swayze - Gone's Not Goodbye - Tribute Song

A song for Patrick Swayze. Demo Version. Words & Music by Carmen Hillary copyright 2009. A candid performance. I wrote this song one morning and recorded it in my home studio. I was supposed to be working in the studio on another project that day, but this came out instead. I don't own any of the photos and all credit should go to the owners. Just like many of you I practically grew up on Patrick's movies and we have lost so many talented people lately. I don't watch a lot of TV and needed some closure. So I wrote this for myself and posted it for his fans and family. He had so much courage and I can't imagine how hard it's been for his family. I hope this song touches your heart and gives you a feeling of peace. He added a lot to this world, so let's celebrate it!

Gone's Not Goodbye - Lyrics by Carmen Hillary

I wrote a theme
So you could dance into your exit
Moving on, smiling on
Just like Ghost

Youve meant so much to the world
Youve been a light here
So carry on, wherever you go

The darkness has hidden the light in your eyes
But Im here to tell you that gones not goodbye
Youre here in this room now
Youre here in this room now tonight

I wrote a theme
For the man we watched on TV
Carry on, smiling strong
Well sing ditto

Your works meant so much to the world
More than an icon
So carry on wherever you are

The darkness has hidden the light in your eyes
But Im here to tell you that gones not goodbye
Youre here in this room now
Youre here in this room now
Youre here in this room now
Always here in this room now tonight

Always
Forever and always, always

The darkness has hidden the light in your eyes
But Im here to remind you that gones not goodbye
Youre here in this room now
Youre here in this room now
Youre here in this room now
Youre here in this room now tonight
