elevated eBFjL A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated eBFjL Hard working hands at rest,

elevated eBFjL It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated eBFjL God only takes the best.

elevated eBFjL They say that memories are golden,

elevated eBFjL Well maybe that is true,

elevated eBFjL But we never wanted memories,

elevated eBFjL We only wanted you,

elevated eBFjL Your life was love and labour,

elevated eBFjL Your love for your family true,

elevated eBFjL You did your best for all of us,

elevated eBFjL We will always remember you.

elevated eBFjL We sat beside your bedside,

elevated eBFjL Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated eBFjL We did our duty to the end,

elevated eBFjL ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated eBFjL In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated eBFjL We watched you fade away,

elevated eBFjL And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated eBFjL We know you could not stay.

elevated eBFjL Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated eBFjL Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated eBFjL But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated eBFjL In our heart you will always stay.
