If tears could build a stairway And thoughts a memory lane We would walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before before we knew it And only god knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to us to lose you No one will know. But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store. Since you'll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hollowed place within our hearts Is where you'll always stay. When we were sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on" Each time we look at your picture You seem to smile and say "Don't cry, I'm only sleeping We'll meet again someday"
