I KNOW IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND

I know it’s hard to understand

But it’s all a part of a bigger plan,

It’s alright and I’m okay.

I’ve never seen such a pretty place.

Still, I’m sorry that I had to go away.

Dry your tears now, don’t you cry.

You know I’ll always be close by.

For all those years you helped me through

Now I’ll be the one looking out for you.

I’ll be right here, just close your eyes,

Picture my face and I’ll make you smile;

Speak my name and I’ll be there for you

I promise, ‘cause that’s what angels do.

We’ve shared so many special times

The memories dance through our minds.

Just keep them close when we’re apart

And wrap them tightly in your heart

‘Cause that’s where joy and healing have to start.

Dry your tears now don’t you cry

You know I’ll always be close by

For all those years you helped me through

Now I’ll be the one looking out for you

Picture my face and I’ll make you smile

Speak my name and I’ll be there for you

I promise, ‘cause that’s what angels do.
