They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won't be any doubt, You're so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

We couldn't wait to hold you And see your pretty face. To count your little fingers, And check your toes are in their place. It should have been the happiest day To remember all our life. But joy had turned to heartache, No breath, no beat, no life. We will never see you smile, Or hear your hearty cry. We will never be able to dry your tears, Or share your happy times. Our precious little Angel, We will always know your face. In our hearts and stars forever, You will always have a placeThe world may never notice If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom, Or even pause to wonder If the petals fall too soon. But every life that ever forms, Or ever comes to be, Touches the world in some small way For all eternity. The little one we long for Was swiftly here and gone. But the love that was then planted Is a light that still shines on. And though our arms are empty, Our hearts know what to do. I have not turned my back on you So there is no need to cry. I'm watching you from heaven Just beyond the morning sky. I've seen you almost fall apart When you could barely stand. I asked an angel to comfort you And watched her take your hand. She told me you are in more pain Than I could ever be. She wiped her eyes and swallowed hard Then gave your hand to me. Although you may not feel my touch Or see me by your side. I've whispered that I love you While I wiped each tear you cried. So please try not to ache for me We'll meet again one day. Beyond the dark and stormy sky A rainbow lights the way.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories were a lane, We would walk right up to heaven To bring you down again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say good-bye. 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 one will ever know. When we are sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on." Each time we look at your pictures, You seem to smile and say, You never said you're leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why. A million times I needed you, A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place, That nobody could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of me went with you, The day God took you home.
