Gonna See You Again
No Family - Country [October 9, 2025]
Grok Review
This song captures the raw ache of grief through a series of painful "firsts" after losing a beloved partner. Verse 1 sets a somber tone on the narrator's birthday; joy fades without sweet words or embraces, leaving only a lonely candle. The chorus offers hope amid sorrow, envisioning a heavenly reunion free from tears and earthly pain, with the repeated line "First time in heaven calling out your name" emphasizing longing and faith. Verse 2 marks their anniversary; rings symbolize enduring commitment, yet echoes of promises highlight the void. Verse 3 evokes holiday loneliness, where bells ring hollow and the Christmas tree lacks warmth in the cold winter night. The bridge acknowledges relentless milestones that cut deep, but affirms the loved one waits in a place of angelic song. Repetitive phrasing, reminiscent of blues traditions, builds emotional intensity and underscores resilience through spiritual belief. Overall, the lyrics blend vulnerability with uplifting promise, creating a touching ballad that resonates for anyone navigating loss. It reminds listeners that love persists beyond death, offering solace in shared human experience.Listen on These Platforms

Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up this morning It's my birthday today Woke up this morning It's my birthday today But without my baby the joy's gone away No sweet honey words No arms round me tight No sweet honey words No arms round me tight Just a lonesome candle Burning in the night [Chorus] Gonna see you again First time up above Gonna see you again First time up above No more crying rivers No more earthly pain First time in heaven Calling out your name First time in heaven Calling out your name [Verse 2] Today's our anniversary But you're not here with me Today's our anniversary But you're not here with me Missing my soul mate, what am I to do Rings on my finger But your hands not there Rings on my finger But your hands not there Echoes of promises hanging in the air [Chorus] Gonna see you again First time up above Gonna see you again First time up above No more crying rivers No more earthly pain First time in heaven Calling out your name First time in heaven Calling out your name [Verse 3] Holiday bells ringing But my heart's feelin low Holiday bells ringing But my heart's feelin low First one without you the cold winds blow Tree standing tall But the lights don't shine bright Tree standing tall But the lights don't shine bright Missing your warmth on this long winter night [Bridge] These firsts keep coming Cutting like a blade These firsts keep coming Cutting like a blade You're up yonder waiting Where the angels sing true You're up yonder waiting Where the angels sing true [Chorus] Gonna see you again First time up above Gonna see you again First time up above No more crying rivers No more earthly pain First time in heaven Calling out your name First time in heaven Calling out your name
