She confirmed the news on her official Twitter account on March 18th, 2013. "Ok...I am so excited to announce that, hopefully, your radios will soon be blasting "See You Again!" I hope you are as happy as I am!". According to Songfacts, Carrie wrote this song about reuniting with a loved one in heaven with Nashville songwriter Hillary Lindsey and former Evanescence member David Hodges.

However, "There's a Place For Us," which the same trio also wrote, was chosen instead.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Said goodbye, turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone
Faded into the setting sun
Slipped away
But I won't cry
'Cause I know I'll never be lonely
For you are the stars to me
You are the light I follow

I will see you again, whoa
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
'Til I see you again

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

I can hear those echoes in the wind at night
Calling me back in time
Back to you
In a place far away
Where the water meets the sky
The thought of it makes me smile
You are my tomorrow

I will see you again, whoa
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
'Til I see you again

Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on 'cause I know

I will see you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, yeah yeah

I will see you again, whoa
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, oh
'Til I see you again

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

'Til I see you again (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
'Til I see you again, yeah yeah yeah, whoa
'Til I see you again




Said goodbye turned around
And you were gone, gone, gone

Overall Meaning

The song "See You Again" by Carrie Underwood is a tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The opening verses of the song set the stage for the theme of the song. The singer looks back on a painful memory of saying goodbye to someone who has passed away who she loved deeply. She recalls the moment of parting, how he faded away into the distance, and the echoes of his voice she can still hear. Despite the heartache, she refuses to cry because she knows that she will never be alone. The one she lost will always be with her in spirit, guiding her like the stars in the sky, and the light that illuminates her path.


The chorus of the song expresses the singer's unwavering faith that she will see her loved one again, and this is not where their journey ends. She feels him with her every step of the way, and his memory is like a warm embrace that keeps her strong when her heart breaks. The last verse of the song is a reminder that her loved one may be gone, but he lives on in her heart, and his love is the light that illuminates her future. The song is an emotional tribute to the idea that true love is eternal, and it never truly dies.

my mom passed away in 2009...and to this day it still hurts

she battled so many things in her life

barely able to feed her 6 kids

mental abuse

lung issues along with other medical problems she had

abd finally
Glioblastoma (brain tumor) which killed her

I can still hear her incredible laugh in my head

see her smile

hear her say "I love you"


I miss you mom.... time has passed but it's still hard to have the ONE PERSON I had as a support system not here anymore.


I Love you mom ❤❤❤
