If tears could build a stairway ...

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

No farewell's were spoken,
no time for goodbye,
you were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness,
and secret tears will flow,
what meant to me to lose you,
no one will ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more,
to remember all the happy times,
life still has so much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today
a hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much.
And what now seems so strange and dim,
will all be clear when we meet Him.

I knew you for a moment ...
