Gone Too Soon

If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I'd walk up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

But since I have to stay behind
Until God calls me too
Don't be afraid my little boy
That he's called for only you.

You know it's hard you're not around
Because you're in Heaven smiling down
Watching me as I pray for you
Every day I pray for you.

Still at night I lie awake
And ponder our bond that broke
And wish you were here to dry my tears
And rid me of my fears.

Once I finally fall asleep
With your blanket clenched to me
I know that even though you're gone
I feel were still a team.

Until the day we meet again
In my heart is where I keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
The strength I need to believe.

And when my eyes no longer see
Is when we'll cuddle again
Once I enter Heaven's gates
The gates you'll open for me.

Until that day, You angel of mine
I await beneath your wings
Until it becomes my time.
