You never said “I’m 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 I hold a place
That only you can fill.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knew why.

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered “Come to me”

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

May you always walk in sunshine
And God’s love around you flow.
For the happiness you gave us,
No one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you
The day god called you home.

We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you shall remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives,
Until we meet again.

So rest in peace dear loved one
And thanks for all you’ve done,
We pray that God has given you,
The crown you’ve truly won.

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal.
But neither time or reason,
Will change the way we 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.

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one’s gone.

Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory,
They’ll live on in our heart.

Gone are the days we used to share
but in our heart you are always there.

The gates of memory will never close
we miss you more than anyone knows.

With tender love and deep regret
we who love you will never forget.

Though your smile is gone forever,
And your hand we cannot touch.
Still we have so many memories,
Of the one we loved so much.

Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping
We have you in our hearts.

A light is from our household gone
a voice we loved is stilled,
a place is vacant in our home
which never can be filled.

God gave us a beautiful mother
a mother who never grew old,
you were always there with a helping
hand, help us now to accept His plan.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore
as time goes by we miss you more,
your loving smile, your gentle face
no one can take our “mother’s place.”

A light is from our household gone
a voice we loved is stilled,
a place is vacant in our home
which never can be filled.

God gave us a beautiful father,
a father who never grew old,
you were always there with a helping
hand, help us now to accept His plan.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore
as time goes by we miss you more,
your loving smile, your gentle face
no one can take our “father’s place.”
