The first time I have this feeling
Can hardly describe this grieving
As you've gone to heaven far away
My mother seldom cries
But tears were streaming from her eyes
Dear God why's there so little time?
So I spoke my last words
Last goodbyes and I hope that you heard
The sun was setting, day's grown old
As I prayed and time was slow
Took your hand and they were colder
Put my head on your shoulders
The good days
The bad days
As you lay
My heart breaks
The day's long
But life is short
Heaven is your resting place
Still tell you as I pray
Thank you for everything. We'll say
Remember your soft hands
When I took my first steps
Rewarded by your warm embrace
Your house was always with that smell
Reminded that you were well
But you've gone far away
We surrounded you
With our last prayers and I hope that you heard
The sun was setting, day's grown old
As I prayed and time was slow
Took your hand and they were colder
Put my head on your shoulders
The good days
The bad days
As you lay
My heart breaks
The day's long
But life is short
Heaven is your resting place
In this life of love and lost
Could overwhelm our thoughts
But it hurts me to see your pain
Hoped that you'd be here forever
Thought that we're all together
But we're one again
The sun is down, the stars are out
Wondering if you're there somehow
I close my eyes realising now
That the silence's so loud
All I see
All I feel
Your memories
Rest in peace
The day's long
And life is short
Heaven is your resting place
I miss you every day
We'll meet again someday
