So tell me why you had to leave,
   just why you couldn't stay;
Your time cut short upon this earth,
   just wish for one more day!

You made your mark before you left,
   a place inside my heart;
An empty space that can't be filled
   so long as we're apart!

I try so hard to be so strong,
   so lonely now it seems;
What's harder than to be alone-
   to live with shattered dreams!

Your memory fills my mind each day,
   my mind is all a buzz;
I cherish so but one small thing,
   this photo of just us!

I carry it so close to me,
   I'll never let it go;
And every time I take a glance,
   your beauty still aglow!

It's all I've left of you for now,
   my princess and best friend;
Until that day at Heaven's gates
   I'll hold you once again!

You've always been my Angel girl,
   but now within my dreams;
I see you soaring high and free
   since now you've got your wings!

When traveling on this train called life,
   keep rollin' down the tracks;
Now live your life for just today,
   not focused on the past!

Keep pressing on each step you take,
   keep reaching for the stars;
Set goals above your comfort zone,
   be proud of who you are!

Then always work so hard in life,
   to always do your best;
Take heart to things that others say,
   remember life's a test!

Don't live above your comfort zone,
   you'll learn that less is more;
Stand strong to fight another day
   in life to win this war!

Now learn from past mistakes you've made,
   to walk a different line;
No matter just how hard it gets,
   tomorrow sun WILL shine!

So step it up, not looking back
   just try to do what's right;
Keep reaching for each goal you've made,
   in life to win this fight!

If once you fall just get back up
   to try your best again;
Don't once give up or 'ere lose hope
   'cause quitters NEVER win!!

When someone leaves this life on earth,
   no matter how you try;
I'ts never easy letting go
   or saying last goodbyes!

Their time cut short, they left too soon,
   their work on earth now done;
The Lord saw fit to call them home,
   their war on earth now won!

They're moved up to a better place,
   their Home in Beulah Land;
No pain or sorrow evermore
   once touched by Master's Hand!

They're walking down the purest streets
   with Jesus as their light;
They'll never shed another tear
   not one more lonely night!

They've got a home, a place to live,
   their bonds of pain now freed;
No bit of sadness 'ere again
   beside the crystal sea!

So as you grieve, remember this,
   they're in a better place;
They're better now than 'ere before
   with Jesus face to face!

I've made mistakes in years gone by,
   oh yes I've failed so bad;
To think of all I've missed
   just all we could've had.

I know it's past, yet still it hurts,
   each dream that won't come true;
You'll never know just how it feels,
   in times I'm missin' you!

I know you have forgiven me,
   you've shown you really care;
But even though I've worked on me,
   it's us I can't repair!

So with these words I write for you,
   although we'll be apart;
Please know they couldn't be more true,
   or nearer to my heart!

You'll always be my love in  life,
   no matter what may come;
I'm sorry for the pain I caused,
   those things I haven't done.

I felt the hurt I put you through,
   your "goodbye" said it all;
For each time that you needed me,
  I seemed to let you fall.

So now in life we're moving on,
   we'll put the past to rest;
Since now I've learned from past mistakes,
   next time I'll do my best!

I've dreamed a dream for many years,
   i've asked My Lord above;
To someday find that special girl,
   the one I'm dreamin' of.

There's been some people in my life'
   a few to come and go;
But never once I found my love,
   'til you I came to know!

You walked into my life one day,
   you caught me unaware;
You smiled at me your gorgeous smile,
   to steal my heart right there!

We hit it off though rather quick,
   I knew right from the start;
Though some have tried, you'd be the one,
   to soften this 'ole heart!

Two broken hearts both mended now,
   two shattered dreams repaired;
With special kind of love so strong,
   too few could 'ere compare!

A gift from God, an answered prayer,
   a miracle it seems;
Since now in life I've got my girl-
   that Angel in my Dreams!!

While standing just outside tonight,
   beneath the star lit sky;
I looked up just in time to see
  my angel soaring by!

I saw a flash of purest white,
  just east of planet mars;
Then watched you as you danced around,
  and jumped from star to star!

You sang me such a precious tune,
  while soaring wild and free;
Then showed me just how high you fly,
  so high I couldn't see!

You swooped right down to hug my neck,
  I held you oh so tight;
Then told you what this meant to me,
  if only for tonight!

You told me not to grieve no more,
  you'll always be my girl;
But now your walking steets of gold,
  no longer this 'ole world!

We talked some more, spent precious time,
  just walking hand in hand;
When time was up, you blew a kiss,
  then soared to Beaulah Land!

I never will forget just when;
  to short as though it seems;
I held you tight but one more time,
  if only in my dreams!
