That your laughter filled the air
And whatever I was going through
You were always there
How you gave of all your love and
Time to those who were in need
In my heart, youβ²ll always be a part of me
Though sometimes it's hard to
I rejoice that you have reached that
Place of peace where thereβ²s no fear
Heaven has bΠ΅come a little sweeter
Just bΠ΅cause you're there
And we'll meet again in that place
So bright and fair
Iβ²ll see you again
Where the sun is always shining
Iβ²ll see you again
Where sorrows are no more
Where we'll join hands together
And weβ²ll sing around the throne
Can't hardly wait till the day
Iβ²ll see you again
I'll see you again
Where the sun is always shining
Iβ²ll see you again
Where sorrows are no more
Where we'll join hands together
And we'll sing around the throne
Canβ²t hardly wait till the day
Iβ²ll see you again
Till we meet, till we meet
Till we meet at Jesus feet
Till we meet, till we meet again
God be with you till we meet again
The lyrics to Richard Smallwood's song "I'll See You Again" are about the loss of a loved one and the hope of reuniting with them in the afterlife. The singer reflects on the memories of the person, how they were always there for them in their time of need, and the impact they had on their life. The singer finds comfort in the idea that the person is now at peace and in a better place, even though it is difficult to accept their physical absence.
The chorus expresses the singer's hope for a future reunion. They envision a place where there is no pain or sorrow, and they will join hands with their loved one to sing praises around the throne of God. The repetition of "I'll see you again" reinforces the idea that death is not the end, and that their separation is only temporary.
The final verse uses a common Christian hymn lyric that speaks of meeting again at the feet of Jesus. The message is one of a bittersweet longing for someone who has passed on, but with the understanding and hope that they will be reunited in a better place.
Overall, the song is a tender and moving tribute to a loved one, with a message of hope and comfort for those left behind.

Sometimes it's difficult to come to terms with the fact that you're no longer with us
Deal with you not being here
It's hard to accept that you're not physically present with us anymore
I rejoice that you have reached that
But I'm also happy for you that you have reached your final destination
Place of peace where there's no fear
I know that you're at peace now, where there's no more fear or pain
Heaven has become a little sweeter
Heaven has now become even more blessed with your presence
Just because you're there
And that's solely because you're there now
And we'll meet again in that place
But I'm looking forward to when we'll reunite in that same place
So bright and fair
Where everything is beautiful and perfect
I'll see you again
But until then, I'll always be thinking of you

And we'll sing around the throne
Where we'll sing and worship together in one voice
Can't hardly wait till the day
I'm eagerly anticipating the day I'll be with you again
Till we meet, till we meet
Until we meet again
Till we meet at Jesus' feet
Where we'll reunite and bow before Jesus together
God be with you till we meet again
May God watch over you and keep you safe until we're together again

In February 2021, I lost my godfather Alfred Roberts, Sr. and it was a very hard time for my family and me, especially months after my dad walked away from our family. But this song gives me hope

I just lost my dad todayβ¦ π’ til we meet again, I know he was received by God and he will be made whole.

This hauntingly beautiful song breaks my heart and makes me cry... but I listen because it's how I feel. It makes me think about so many lost loved ones, and especially my sweet mother. For every day she's gone, I miss her more. The only consolation is, I try to live so I know I'll see her again.
