Not Gonna Cry The time has come the day is here When we have to say goodbye I know I said when this day comes, I promise I wouldn’t cry Tears of joy, now you’re at peace, The suffering is done.

You’re flying high up in the sky, Now you and God are one.

The time has come, the day is here, But this is not goodbye.

Now you’re one within the Sun, My angel in the sky!
