So Soon

Official Music Video of the track "So Soon" from Maher Zain's new album "Forgive Me", directed by Mike Harris



Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
I still can hear your voice calling out my name
And I remember all the stories you told me
I miss the time you were around
I miss the time you were around
But I'm so grateful for every moment I spent with you
'Cause I know life won't last forever

Chorus:

You went so soon, so soon,
You left so soon, so soon,
I have to move on 'cause I know it's been too long,
I've got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong,
I'll try to take it all, even though it's so hard,
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone,
Gone so soon

Night and day, I still feel you are close to me
And I remember you in every prayer that I make
Every single day may you be shaded by His mercy
But life is not the same, and it will never be the same
But I'm so thankful for every memory I shared with you
'Cause I know this life is not forever

Chorus

There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn't help asking why
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we'll return, oh

Chorus

Number One For Me

I was a foolish little child
Crazy things I used to do
And all the pain I put you through
Mama now I'm here for you
For all the times I made you cry
The days I told you lies
Now it's time for you to rise
For all the things you sacrificed

Chorus:
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you
Mum I'm all grown up now
It's a brand new day
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum I'm all grown up now
And it's not too late
I'd like to put a smile on your face every day

And now I finally understand
Your famous line
About the day I'd face in time
'Cause now I've got a child of mine
And even though I was so bad
I've learned so much from you
Now I'm trying to do it too
Love my kid the way you do

CHORUS

You know you are the number one for me (x3)
Oh, oh, number one for me
There's no one in this world that can take your place
Oh, I'm sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh
I will use every chance I get
To make you smile, whenever I'm around you
Now I will try to love you like you love me
Only God knows how much you mean to me

CHORUS

You know you are the number one for me (x3)

Oh, oh, number one for me
