Stairway to Heaven

They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane;
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

I found a penny today
just laying on the ground.
But it's not just a penny,
this little coin I've found.

Found pennies come from heaven,
that's what my Grandpa told me.
Grandpa said, Angels always toss them down.
Oh, how I loved that story.

He said when an Angel misses you,
they toss a penny down..
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
and make a smile out of your frown.

So don't just pass by that penny
when you're feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven,
that an Angel's tossed to you.

An angel here, an angel there,
I'm surrounded by angels everywhere.
When I'm in the middle of a terrible storm
They come with their candles to keep me warm.
An angel to comfort, an angel to guide,
An angel to fill that dark hole inside.
An angel to cry on, an angel who cares,
Angels, angels, everywhere!

Yesterday I heard your voice,
Today that voice is still
I yearn to hear it once again
I know I always will.

Yesterday I touched your face
As you were safe in bed
If I could kiss you just once more
And stroke your precious head.

You touched my life so briefly
but the magic lingers on
It goes to bed with me at twilight
and wakes with me at dawn.
If I live until forever
till my eyes no longer see,
My mind will forever remember
What you were and are to me..

Forever angel, you'll be mine
Today, tomorrow, for all time
Upon my breast you lay so sweet
Dear child of mine, my pain is deep.
Your eyes are closed, your breath is still
I could but think this can't be real.
So many plans we had for you
Are laid to rest as you are too.
A day won't pass I will forget
You'll forever be my angel yet

In our hearts

I thought of you with love today,
but thats nothing new.
I thought of about you yesterday;
and many days before that too.
I remember you in silence.
I often speak your name.
Now all I have is memories,
and your photo in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
with which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping;
I hold you in my heart.
