I cradled you tight
in my arms you were asleep
though I knew that night
Jesus took you home to keep
It was your time my love
wish I could've said goodbye
You're safe now above
I know the reason why.
Though what am I to do
without you near me
not the same without you
all are left are memories.
The good times we had
we're always great
now times are sad
I'll see you at Heavens gate
Tried to stay strong
but it tore me apart
darling it won't be long
B4 we have each other's heart.
We'll be hand in hand
God as our guide
walking to our heavenly land
never leaving each other's side
