In tears I saw you sinking and
watched you fade away,
But my heart was broken.
I wanted you to stay.
But when I saw you sleeping,
so peaceful and free of pain,
How could I wish you back with
me to suffer once again?
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you did not go alone,
For part of me went with you,
the day God took you home.
