    Lyrics:
    All your wits
    All of the laughs
    Your grin
    Will stay in my heart
    Stay in my mind
    For all of time
    Bridges burn
    But I’ve seen the worst
    And I’m sure
    That I’ll be alright
    I’m doing just fine
    Only for a time
    Oh where do I go from here?
    Know I’m lonely, but have no fear
    Cause I’ll be seeing you
    Seeing you
    Wherever I go
    And I’ll be,
    Be with you,
    Be with you
    Wherever I’ll go
    Gone but your love
    Is all I have left
    I’ll stand tall
    You’ll stay in my arms
    Won’t stay in the dark
    Cause you’ll look for me
    Maybe I’m bound to break
    I wanted more
    I can’t resist
    The thought of you
    Lingers on me now
    Heaven knows no tears
    But if only you were here
    But I’ll be seeing you
    Seeing you
    Wherever I go
    I’ll be,
    Be with you,
    Be with you,
    Wherever I go
    Cause I’ll be seeing you
    Seeing you
    Wherever I go
    And I’ll be,
    Be with you,
    Be with you,
    Wherever I go

    I am Filipina-American, I am 66 years old, married with three adult children, and I am falling in love with you! The first and only time I ever voted for an American Idol contestant was in Season 2. That was Ruben Studdard and he captured me with his soulfulness. Iam, you have that soulfulness with an island flair. For many years, I gave up watching American Idol (because I would be disappointed with the results) but now here you are in Season 21. Ever since I heard you audition, you captivated me along with my extended family. I felt alive again, I was happy, I was sad and I was hopeful. This song is the culmination of all the songs you have sung to us and I'm excited to hear future songs from you. This coming Sunday, I will be wearing my Team Tongi t-shirt, along with two of my closest family members (one of them was diagnosed two months ago with leukemia and it was your music that helped her get through the pain). We will be rooting for you, Iam Tongi, because we need more goodness in this world.

    IAM, thank you for being YOU and not trying to “copy” anybody else to further your own goals. You don’t try to “dress” the part or write the kind of song that will be popular. Even in this particular case, you chose the “subject matter” dear to your heart instead of something that so many others have chosen lately, just to sell your music. I absolutely love this video of you and seeing you sing this song. I listened to the story of your guitar and of course, tears came rolling. What an amazing gift from the artist who crafted it. You too, Iam, are a gift to humanity. What a legacy your dad, Mr. Rodney, left the world in you. I’m so proud for you, and yes, your dreams have come true and I’m so happy to have been a small part of your journey as a forever fan. (Tennessee)

My son-in-law passed away unexpectedly from cardiac arrest one week ago today; just four days after his 44th birthday. He leaves his wife (my daughter) and four children. We are heartbroken, but we know that we will see him again because of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Thank you, Iam. May the Lord bless you. May you always be a light and an example of the pure love of Christ as you share your gift of music in this world. Much love, Iam. ❤

    Iam, My son was born with a rare genetic disorder, he is now 8 years old and he is the happiest, sweetest kid. He can’t walk and can’t talk, but he lights up every room he’s in. This song just speaks to not just the loss you experienced with Rodney but the undying love of family that is truly special. The fact you don’t take anything for granted is just as much of a gift as your timeless voice.

      Sorry for your loss. A 101 years is a long time and your family will be seeing her as Iam sings whenever you guys see something, someplace, some items, some foods that she used to cook etc. Just like how Iam could see his dad and hear him singing with him, your family has 101 years of memories to draw from. People can't be forgotten when the ones that remember them keeps them alive.

I know when the time comes it will be extremely painful but your song helps to give me hope of how he will still be with me, even though he’s not on this side of earth. Thank you for showing your spirit in a way that lifts us up and give us hope. You are doing God’s work and I thank you.

    Hey Iam. Keep your head up. I lost my father in 2011 when I was 9 years old. The pain never goes and it never gets better. Every year you will miss him more but you get stronger. You learn to be able to move forward and cry on your own time. He wants nothing more then to see you be as successful as possible. He loves you and watches over your shoulder everywhere you go. If you ever need advice he is there and will give it to you in whatever way he can.

    Hello. I am Samoan born in California and raised in Utah.
    I am now 30 years old. I was 21 years old when my life changed, life was hard until I met not only my companion but a family member, we were unseperable, when i said unseperable i meant a true mans best friend. Showed not only me but my family on how beautiful the outside world was, how to appreciate every little thing i come across from. Talking to others, looking at others face when we talk, learn from others and understand.
    You made me what i am today, i learned alot from you, to be a better person.
    Popo, I miss you so much but i know youre in a better place. Thank you for everything. Letting not only me but my parents and my grandparents to give you the chance to love you, take care of you... and ofc being a great family dog.
    Not one day i have not thought of you.
    Rest well my friend, I'll be seeing you again.
