There is no replacing Lou, my Dad. This song is a tribute to him and the love we felt from him while he was in our presence. He has gone on to be with the Jesus. He will live forever in our hearts and now in the presence of the Lord.

Lyrics
You Ain’t Gone (A Song For Lou)
Intro:
A E Gbm D E
A E Gbm D
When we were young you told us about Jesus
A E Gbm D
Now we’re old and the band plays on
E A Gbm E
Face to face you sing with angels
D E
Before the King and his holy throne
A E Gbm D
When we think back on all the good times
A E Gbm D
You are right here in our hearts
E A Gbm E
And in the hard times we got through it
D E
It just don’t feel like you’re really gone
D A Gbm E
You ain’t gone you just passed on
D A Gbm E
To sing his song in the brand new dawn
D A GBm E
What a place for you to stay
D E
It just don’t feel like you’re really gone
A E Gbm D
Tell us one more time and we’ll listen
A E Gbm D
Tell us again though we’ve heard it before
E A Gbm E
About the place through the blood of Jesus
D E
To make a way for all us sinners
D A Gbm E
You ain’t gone you just past on
D A Gbm E
To sing your song in the brand new dawn
D A Gbm E
What a place for you to stay
D E
It just don’t feel like you’re really gone
D A Gbm E
You ain’t gone you just passed on
D A Gbm E
To sing his song in the brand new dawn
D A Gbm E
What a place for you to stay
D E
It just don’t feel like your really gone
D A Gbm E
You ain’t gone you just passed on
D A Gbm E
You ain’t gone you just passed on
D A Gbm E
You ain’t gone you just passed on
