God saw you were getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And he whispered "come to me" With tearful eyes we watched you We watched you fade 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 chose to take the best It's lonesome here without you We miss you more each day Life doesn't seem the same Since you have gone away When days are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong We seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on" Each time we see your picture You seem to smile and say "Don't cry, I'm in God's hands We'll meet again someday"
