elevated MoNZc A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated MoNZc Hard working hands at rest,

elevated MoNZc It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated MoNZc God only takes the best.

elevated MoNZc They say that memories are golden,

elevated MoNZc Well maybe that is true,

elevated MoNZc But we never wanted memories,

elevated MoNZc We only wanted you,

elevated MoNZc Your life was love and labour,

elevated MoNZc Your love for your family true,

elevated MoNZc You did your best for all of us,

elevated MoNZc We will always remember you.

elevated MoNZc We sat beside your bedside,

elevated MoNZc Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated MoNZc We did our duty to the end,

elevated MoNZc ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated MoNZc In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated MoNZc We watched you fade away,

elevated MoNZc And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated MoNZc We know you could not stay.

elevated MoNZc Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated MoNZc Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated MoNZc But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated MoNZc In our heart you will always stay.
