Will always be there. (212)

No treasure will ever replace him
His memory will never grow old
My heart was broken that sad day
When the angels came and took you away
I loved you then and always will
Your vacant place no one can fill
If I could have a wish come true
I wish my darling I still had you (214)

If we could turn back time. (22)
Too dearly loved to be forgotten (27)
Love is eternal and love is immortal.(30)
They say it is a
Beautiful journey
From the old world
To the new

That journey
Just to be with you
And when we reach
That garden
Where there is no pain
I will put my arms around you
And we will never part again (181)

And the heat died down
And autumn reached

As I heard a sigh
But this was the
Time of no reply (116)
