I lost any chance for me to say
To say that I miss you, say that I love you
Will someone please tell me I'm okay
I wasn't prepared for what's to come
A life made of memories gone so young
And now I'm regretting all I've done
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'm in your heart tonight
I never thought that this could go
And take me away from all I know
And leave me to think I'm on my own
But your love will take me, you were the one...
Who sat through nights
You held me tight
And made sure I'm okay
And I thank you for the love you gave to me
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'm in your heart tonight...
Tonight...
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
And if I should fall, I know you're waiting
And if I should call, I know you're there
If ever you cry just know
I'm in your heart tonight...
I'm in your heart tonight.
The song "Gone So Young" by Amber Pacific is a ballad about losing someone very close to the singer. The lyrics reflect his regret for not being able to express his love and appreciation for that person before they passed. The opening lines encapsulate the emotion of losing someone unexpectedly, “I never dreamt it'd be this way, I lost any chance for me to say.” He wishes he could tell them how much he loves and misses them, but it is now too late. The singer's regret is palpable throughout the song as he looks back on their time together and wishes he had made more time for them.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the singer's love will always be with this person, no matter where they go, "Wherever you go, I will be waiting, Whenever you call, I will be there, Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright, I'm in your heart tonight." He promises to be there for them always, even when he cannot be physically present. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer affirming that they will always be together in spirit.

I never dreamt it'd be this way
I never expected things to end up like this
I lost any chance for me to say
I missed my opportunity to express my love and feelings towards you
To say that I miss you, say that I love you
I wish I could tell you how much I miss and love you
Will someone please tell me I'm okay
I need someone to assure me that things will be alright
I wasn't prepared for what's to come
I didn't anticipate the future and its hardships
A life made of memories gone so young
A life full of memories ended too soon
And now I'm regretting all I've done
I'm feeling remorse for my actions
But in your heart you know that I'm with you all along
You always have me in your heart, even though we are apart
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
I'll always be there for you no matter where you are
Whenever you call, I will be there
I'll never hesitate to answer your calls
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'll do everything in my power to make your tough days better
I'm in your heart tonight
You'll always have me in your heart, especially tonight
I never thought that this could go
I never thought things could end up like this
And take me away from all I know
It's taken me away from everything I'm familiar with
And leave me to think I'm on my own
It's left me believing that I have to deal with it on my own
But your love will take me, you were the one...
But your love will guide me through, you're the one I need
Who sat through nights
You were there for me during the toughest times
You held me tight
You gave me a hug and support when I needed it the most
And made sure I'm okay
You always made sure I'm alright
And I thank you for the love you gave to me
I'm grateful for the affection you showed me
And if I should fall, I know you're waiting
I know that you'll be there to catch me if I stumble
And if I should call, I know you're there
I know I can reach out to you anytime
If ever you cry just know
If you ever feel sad, remember
I'm in your heart tonight...
I'll be in your heart tonight and always
Tonight...
Especially tonight, I want you to remember that I'm here for you

used to listen to this song in high school. a lot of the comments are definitely nostalgic based. strange world we live in. randomly pops into my head every few years. first time i've seen the video. im 32 now.
@jaytaggert2335
I will always have this song on my playlist but now it will just remind me of my little brother's untimely passing last year. This was one of his favorites too.

Mr.Young ( the lead singer) was my favorite Science teacher at Illahee middle school when I was in 7th grade ( I graduated high school already) . I remember when his mom substituted my class for one day and we watched his music videos in class and when he sang on kids day with just him and a guitar, it was amazing ! He even invited the class to come see him preform on a weekend ( sadly I couldn't go) but still listening to their songs and mostly this one after all those years :')
