Our Angels

If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk right up to Heaven And bring you back again..... No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why...... Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No on will ever know.....
