elevated i9pd0 A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated i9pd0 Hard working hands at rest,

elevated i9pd0 It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated i9pd0 God only takes the best.

elevated i9pd0 They say that memories are golden,

elevated i9pd0 Well maybe that is true,

elevated i9pd0 But we never wanted memories,

elevated i9pd0 We only wanted you,

elevated i9pd0 Your life was love and labour,

elevated i9pd0 Your love for your family true,

elevated i9pd0 You did your best for all of us,

elevated i9pd0 We will always remember you.

elevated i9pd0 We sat beside your bedside,

elevated i9pd0 Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated i9pd0 We did our duty to the end,

elevated i9pd0 ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated i9pd0 In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated i9pd0 We watched you fade away,

elevated i9pd0 And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated i9pd0 We know you could not stay.

elevated i9pd0 Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated i9pd0 Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated i9pd0 But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated i9pd0 In our heart you will always stay.
