A#     G#                    D#
Your spirit will live here forever
             G#               D#
The sea will echo your gypsy soul
A#        G#               D#                   A#
You will always bring us together, this much I know
          G#                      D#
Oh, your smile was as big as this island
           G#                    D#
You could drown in your eyes of blue
          G#                     D#
You were friend of a friend and someone,
         A#
I'm glad I knew

Chorus:
     G#              D#      G#              D#
I'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
G#                 D#                        A#
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now
            G#              D#       G#
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay
D#
alive
         G#             D#         Fm
And you left us with so many, Kristi
Gm             G#        D#/G
You will never die never die
               G#        D#/G A#
You will never die never die

I hope time can be our healer, maybe
time can be a friend
Still I'm a strong believer, someday
we'll see you again
Where the sun is on our faces and the
wind is at our back
Sailing south to our favorite places,
where the water's calm and flat

Chorus:
Till then we'll always see you dancing,
up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now
And you'll live with us as long as,
memories stay alive
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die, never die

Our circle of friends, we're sad that you're gone
We celebrate your life with stories and a song
Somehow you will keep us strong

Chorus:
I'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay
alive
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die, never die
You will never die, never die
Left us with so many, Kristi
