Tears fall at the expense of absence,
Hearts fill to capacity with the remembrance of his presence,
Eyes painted rose with water pastels that smear adolescent happiness,
We live to remember and die to live forever,
Somewhere...somehow...our angel is protected,
His pain has departed and his heart will echo beats forever,
We bear in mind his tears of relief and eyes that shadow youth,
Pick a memory out of your hat and clutch it tight,
These memories keep firm the love that is never to be forgotten,
So stay strong my peers,
Remember not the absence of our angel,
But live in our moment,
His moment,
Do not grieve his tardiness,
Embrace the memories we hold securely,
Celebrate what was and not what is,
Our angel is here,
Our angel is there,
But in our hearts...
Our angel is everywhere...

Tears fall at the expense of absence,
Hearts fill to capacity with the remembrance of his presence,
Eyes painted rose with water pastels that smear adolescent happiness,
We live to remember and die to live forever,
Somewhere...somehow...our angel is protected,
His pain has departed and his heart will echo beats forever,
We bear in mind his tears of relief and eyes that shadow youth,
Pick a memory out of your hat and clutch it tight,
These memories keep firm the love that is never to be forgotten,
So stay strong my peers,
Remember not the absence of our angel,
But live in our moment,
His moment,
Do not grieve his tardiness,
Embrace the memories we hold securely,
Celebrate what was and not what is,
Our angel is here,
Our angel is there,
But in our hearts...
Our angel is everywhere...
