An angel kissed my tears away and whispered in my ear

Remember me with smiles for I am always near.

When you hear the birds sing, see a rainbow in the sky

Or feel the touch of a gentle breeze, just know that I'm nearby

I will always watch over you, just keep me in your heart.

Share our many memories and we'll never be apart.
