elevated JKqjP A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated JKqjP Hard working hands at rest,

elevated JKqjP It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated JKqjP God only takes the best.

elevated JKqjP They say that memories are golden,

elevated JKqjP Well maybe that is true,

elevated JKqjP But we never wanted memories,

elevated JKqjP We only wanted you,

elevated JKqjP Your life was love and labour,

elevated JKqjP Your love for your family true,

elevated JKqjP You did your best for all of us,

elevated JKqjP We will always remember you.

elevated JKqjP We sat beside your bedside,

elevated JKqjP Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated JKqjP We did our duty to the end,

elevated JKqjP ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated JKqjP In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated JKqjP We watched you fade away,

elevated JKqjP And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated JKqjP We know you could not stay.

elevated JKqjP Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated JKqjP Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated JKqjP But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated JKqjP In our heart you will always stay.
