Save A Place For Me Lyrics by Matthew West
[Verse 1]
Don’t be mad if I cry
It just hurts so bad sometimes
‘Cause everyday it’s sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I bet it feels good
To have the weight of this world
Off Your shoulders now
I’m dreaming of the day
When I’m finally there with You
[Chorus]
Save a place for me, save a place for me
I’ll be there soon, I’ll be there soon
Save a place for me, save some grace for me
I’ll be there soon, I’ll be there soon
[Verse 2]
I have asked the questions why
But I guess the answer’s for another time
So instead I’ll pray with every tear
And be thankful for the time I had You here
[Chorus]
So You just, save a place for me, save a place for me
I’ll be there soon, I’ll be there soon
Save a place for me, save some grace for me
I’ll be there soon, I’ll be there
[Bridge]
I wanna live my life just like You did
And make the most of my time just like You did
And I wanna make my home up in the sky
Just like You did, oh, but until I get there
Until I get there
[Chorus]
Just save a place for me, save a place for me
‘Cause I will be there soon
Save a place for me, save a place for me
I’ll be there soon, I’ll be there soon
[Outro]
Don’t be mad if I cry
It just hurts so bad
