elevated SJyqx A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated SJyqx Hard working hands at rest,

elevated SJyqx It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated SJyqx God only takes the best.

elevated SJyqx They say that memories are golden,

elevated SJyqx Well maybe that is true,

elevated SJyqx But we never wanted memories,

elevated SJyqx We only wanted you,

elevated SJyqx Your life was love and labour,

elevated SJyqx Your love for your family true,

elevated SJyqx You did your best for all of us,

elevated SJyqx We will always remember you.

elevated SJyqx We sat beside your bedside,

elevated SJyqx Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated SJyqx We did our duty to the end,

elevated SJyqx ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated SJyqx In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated SJyqx We watched you fade away,

elevated SJyqx And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated SJyqx We know you could not stay.

elevated SJyqx Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated SJyqx Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated SJyqx But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated SJyqx In our heart you will always stay.
