A DREAM THAT WOULD COME TRUE.
I'D PRAY TO GOD WITH ALL MY HEART FOR YESTEREDAY AND YOU.
A THOUSAND WORDS CAN'T BRING YOU BACK;
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE TRIED.
AND NEITHER WILL A MILLION TEARS,
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE CRIED.
YOU LEFT BEHIND MY BROKEN HEART
AND HAPPY MEMORIES TOO
I NEVER WANTED MEMORIES,
I ONLY WANTED YOU.
ALMOST SILENTLY,
ONLY A MOMENT YOU STAYED;
BUT WHAT AN IMPRINT YOUR FOOTSTEPS
HAVE LEFT UPON MY HEART.
DROOPED AND WITHERED, THAT NEED HIS CARE
STILL HE NEEDS A BUD OR BLOSSOM
TO SCATTER WITH THEM, HERE AND THERE.
SO HE TAKES A FEW CHOICE BLOSSOMS
JUST THE RAREST HE CAN FIND
AND BECAUSE GOD NEEDS THEM UP IN HEAVEN
HE MUST COMFORT LOVED ONES LEFT BEHIND.
NO ONE WITH THEM TO PLAY
FOR THEY AREN'T IN HIS BEDROOM
THEY'RE SITTING ON HIS GRAVE
HE HAS TWO TINY ANGELS
TO WATCH OVER HIM EACH NIGHT
ONE SITS TO THE LEFT OF HIM
THE OTHER TO HIS RIGHT
HE HAS A SET OF CHIMES
THAT MAKE MUSIC AT HIS HEAD
FOR THE BIRDS TO SING A LONG
AT THE FOOT OF HIS BED
HE HAS TINY LITTLE FLOWERS
AT HIS HEAD AND AT HIS FEET
ALTHOUGH IT'S VERY SAD
IT ALWAYS LOOKS SO NEAT
EVERYTHING THAT IS PLACED THERE IS PLACED THERE OUT OF LOVE
OUR LITTLE MICHAEL'S AN ANGEL
LIVING WITH GOD ABOVE.
WE MISS YOU SO MUCH
MORE WITH EACH PASSING DAY
WE LOVE YOU OH SO MUCH MORE
THAN OUR WORDS COULD EVER SAY
GOD BLESS OUR LITTLE MICHAEL
WHO WAS A BLESSING FROM ABOVE
FOR ON HIS VERY FIRST BIRTHDAY
I'VE SENT HIM ALL MY LOVE.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHAEL
LOVED ALWAYS AND FOREVER
YOUR AUNT CHITA
BECAUSE OF ONE TINY FLOWER.
IT'S THE PRETTIEST I EVER SAW
THOUGH IT BLOOMED FOR JUST AN HOUR
THIS FLOWER IS THE MOST DELICATE OF THEM ALL
GOD PICKED HIS LITTLE SOUL
AND PLANTED HIM IN THE FALL.
THIS LITTLE BABY BOY WHO WAS SO TRUELY LOVED
HAS GONE TO GRACE GOD'S GARDEN
IN THIS HOLY PLACE ABOVE
HIS TINY LITTLE FOOTSTEPS,
THOUGH WE KNOW WE'LL NEVER HEAR
WE THANK GOD EVERYDAY
FOR THE TIME WE HAD HIM HERE.
I KNOW HIS LITTLE VOICE IS THE SWEETEST
THE ANGELS HAVE HEARD
ALTHOUGH WHAT TIME WE HAD HIM
HE NEVER SPOKE A WORD.
GOD HAS OUR SPECIAL FLOWER
IT'S THE PRETTIEST OF THEM ALL
HE TOOK HIM FROM OUR GARDEN
AND PLANTED HIM IN THE FALL
THE GARDEN IS MORE BEAUTIFUL NOW
BECAUSE OF ONE TINY FLOWER
IT'S THE PRETTIEST I EVER SAW
THOUGH IT BLOOMED FOR JUST AN HOUR.
LOVED ALWAYS AND FOREVER
AUNT CHITA
LONG A STAR SHINES
WHAT IS REMEMBERED IS
THE BRIGHTEST OF THE LIGHT
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL- PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU DO
THERE'S JUST ONE WAY TO K NOW- HAVE YOU LOST A CHILD TOO?
"YOU'LL HAVE ANOTHER CHILD"- MUST I HEAR THIS EVERYDAY?
CAN I GET ANOTHER PARENT TOO- IF MINE SHOULD PASS AWAY?
"DON'T SAY IT WAS GOD'S WILL"- THAT'S NOT THE GOD I KNOW
WOULD GOD ON PURPOSE BREAK MY HEART- THEN WATCH AS MY TEARS FLOW?
"YOU HAVE AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN- A PRECIOUS CHILD ABOVE"
BUT TELL ME, WHO HERE ON EARTH SHALL I GIVE THIS LOVE?
"AREN'T YOU BETTER YET"- IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY?
NO A PART OF MY HEART ACHES- I'LL ALWAYS FEEL SOME PAIN
YOU THINK THAT SILENCE IS KIND; BUT IT HURTS ME EVEN MORE
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY CHILD WHO HAS GONE THROUGH DEATH'S DOOR
DON'T SAY THESE THINGS TO ME, ATHOUGH YOU MEAN WELL
THEY DO NOT TAKE MY PAIN AWAY, I MUST GO THROUGH THIS HELL
I WILL GET BETTER, SLOW BUT SURE AND IT HELPS TO HAVE YOU NEAR
BUT A SIMPLE "I'M SORRY YOU LOST YOUR CHILD" IS ALL I NEED TO HEAR
