elevated DRDru A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated DRDru Hard working hands at rest,

elevated DRDru It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated DRDru God only takes the best.

elevated DRDru They say that memories are golden,

elevated DRDru Well maybe that is true,

elevated DRDru But we never wanted memories,

elevated DRDru We only wanted you,

elevated DRDru Your life was love and labour,

elevated DRDru Your love for your family true,

elevated DRDru You did your best for all of us,

elevated DRDru We will always remember you.

elevated DRDru We sat beside your bedside,

elevated DRDru Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated DRDru We did our duty to the end,

elevated DRDru ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated DRDru In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated DRDru We watched you fade away,

elevated DRDru And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated DRDru We know you could not stay.

elevated DRDru Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated DRDru Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated DRDru But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated DRDru In our heart you will always stay.
