elevated jmmPX A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated jmmPX Hard working hands at rest,

elevated jmmPX It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated jmmPX God only takes the best.

elevated jmmPX They say that memories are golden,

elevated jmmPX Well maybe that is true,

elevated jmmPX But we never wanted memories,

elevated jmmPX We only wanted you,

elevated jmmPX Your life was love and labour,

elevated jmmPX Your love for your family true,

elevated jmmPX You did your best for all of us,

elevated jmmPX We will always remember you.

elevated jmmPX We sat beside your bedside,

elevated jmmPX Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated jmmPX We did our duty to the end,

elevated jmmPX ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated jmmPX In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated jmmPX We watched you fade away,

elevated jmmPX And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated jmmPX We know you could not stay.

elevated jmmPX Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated jmmPX Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated jmmPX But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated jmmPX In our heart you will always stay.
