elevated 8AiwB A golden heart stopped beating,

elevated 8AiwB Hard working hands at rest,

elevated 8AiwB It broke our hearts to see you go,

elevated 8AiwB God only takes the best.

elevated 8AiwB They say that memories are golden,

elevated 8AiwB Well maybe that is true,

elevated 8AiwB But we never wanted memories,

elevated 8AiwB We only wanted you,

elevated 8AiwB Your life was love and labour,

elevated 8AiwB Your love for your family true,

elevated 8AiwB You did your best for all of us,

elevated 8AiwB We will always remember you.

elevated 8AiwB We sat beside your bedside,

elevated 8AiwB Our hearts were crushed and sore,

elevated 8AiwB We did our duty to the end,

elevated 8AiwB ‘Til we could do no more.

elevated 8AiwB In tears we watched you sinking,

elevated 8AiwB We watched you fade away,

elevated 8AiwB And though our hearts were breaking,

elevated 8AiwB We know you could not stay.

elevated 8AiwB Our lips cannot speak how we love you,

elevated 8AiwB Our hearts cannot tell what to say,

elevated 8AiwB But God only knows how we miss you,

elevated 8AiwB In our heart you will always stay.
