If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane,
I 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 I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
and secret tears will flow,
What it meant to love you-
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want me,
to mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today-
A hallowed place within my heart,
is where you’ll always stay.
