elevated DEoDp A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated DEoDp Hard working hands at rest,

elevated DEoDp It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated DEoDp God only takes the best.

elevated DEoDp They say that memories are golden,

elevated DEoDp Well maybe that is true,

elevated DEoDp But we never wanted memories,

elevated DEoDp We only wanted you,

elevated DEoDp Your life was love and labour,

elevated DEoDp Your love for your family true,

elevated DEoDp You did your best for all of us,

elevated DEoDp We will always remember you.

elevated DEoDp We sat beside your bedside,

elevated DEoDp Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated DEoDp We did our duty to the end,

elevated DEoDp ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated DEoDp In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated DEoDp We watched you fade away,

elevated DEoDp And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated DEoDp We know you could not stay.

elevated DEoDp Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated DEoDp Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated DEoDp But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated DEoDp In our heart you will always stay.
