i heard today that you were gone
  i had to stop and sing along
  the song they played to say goodbye
  a song they gave, give me back life
    [chorus]
    you'll never fade
  the words you gave
  my life you saved
  your name was layne
  and on that day a child was born
  to someone who you helped along
  and helped see through his darkest times
  because of you, this child she is mine
    [chorus]
    [bridge]
    the words you said, you made me feel like they were all for me
  the words you said, they will always be a part of me
  the words you said, you made me feel like i was not alone
  the words you said, you gave me all the strength to carry on
    [chorus (altered)]
    so to me you'll never fade
  your life you gave
  my life you saved
  your name was layne
