elevated nbJj0 A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated nbJj0 Hard working hands at rest,

elevated nbJj0 It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated nbJj0 God only takes the best.

elevated nbJj0 They say that memories are golden,

elevated nbJj0 Well maybe that is true,

elevated nbJj0 But we never wanted memories,

elevated nbJj0 We only wanted you,

elevated nbJj0 Your life was love and labour,

elevated nbJj0 Your love for your family true,

elevated nbJj0 You did your best for all of us,

elevated nbJj0 We will always remember you.

elevated nbJj0 We sat beside your bedside,

elevated nbJj0 Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated nbJj0 We did our duty to the end,

elevated nbJj0 ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated nbJj0 In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated nbJj0 We watched you fade away,

elevated nbJj0 And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated nbJj0 We know you could not stay.

elevated nbJj0 Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated nbJj0 Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated nbJj0 But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated nbJj0 In our heart you will always stay.
