They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you..

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 you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.

But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
