If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven to bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why
We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one will ever fill
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still
There will always be heartache and often a silent tear
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here
We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain
To walk throughout our lives until we meet again
Our family chain is broken now and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again
