elevated 4ylnH A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated 4ylnH Hard working hands at rest,

elevated 4ylnH It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated 4ylnH God only takes the best.

elevated 4ylnH They say that memories are golden,

elevated 4ylnH Well maybe that is true,

elevated 4ylnH But we never wanted memories,

elevated 4ylnH We only wanted you,

elevated 4ylnH Your life was love and labour,

elevated 4ylnH Your love for your family true,

elevated 4ylnH You did your best for all of us,

elevated 4ylnH We will always remember you.

elevated 4ylnH We sat beside your bedside,

elevated 4ylnH Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated 4ylnH We did our duty to the end,

elevated 4ylnH ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated 4ylnH In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated 4ylnH We watched you fade away,

elevated 4ylnH And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated 4ylnH We know you could not stay.

elevated 4ylnH Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated 4ylnH Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated 4ylnH But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated 4ylnH In our heart you will always stay.
