The song "You May Be Gone" by Paul Hardcastle is a tribute to a special lady who was warm, caring and always there when he needed her. The lyrics reflect on the memories of the times they spent together, the love and care she showed him and how she made his life happy and good. However, the mood changes as the news arrives that she has passed away. The pain and sorrow felt is expressed in the lyrics as the realization sinks in that she won't be there again. But the song also conveys a message of hope that they will meet again someday, maybe in heaven, where she has climbed the eternal stairway to find peace. The powerful lyrics of this song express the deep and lasting impact that someone special can have on our lives, even after they are gone. It is a reminder to cherish the people we love and to hold on to the memories of them forever.
