A thousand times we needed you

A thousand times we cried

If love alone could have saved you

You never would have died

A heart of gold stopped beating

Two twinkling eyes closed to rest

God broke our hearts to prove

He only took the best

Never a day will go by

That you won’t be in our hearts and our souls.
