elevated 0qoKT A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated 0qoKT Hard working hands at rest,

elevated 0qoKT It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated 0qoKT God only takes the best.

elevated 0qoKT They say that memories are golden,

elevated 0qoKT Well maybe that is true,

elevated 0qoKT But we never wanted memories,

elevated 0qoKT We only wanted you,

elevated 0qoKT Your life was love and labour,

elevated 0qoKT Your love for your family true,

elevated 0qoKT You did your best for all of us,

elevated 0qoKT We will always remember you.

elevated 0qoKT We sat beside your bedside,

elevated 0qoKT Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated 0qoKT We did our duty to the end,

elevated 0qoKT ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated 0qoKT In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated 0qoKT We watched you fade away,

elevated 0qoKT And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated 0qoKT We know you could not stay.

elevated 0qoKT Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated 0qoKT Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated 0qoKT But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated 0qoKT In our heart you will always stay.
