FOREVER IN MY HEART

So go and run free,

So go and run free with the angels,

Dance around the golden clouds,

For the lord has chosen you to be with him,

And we should feel nothing but proud,

Although he has taken you from us,

And our pain a lifetime will last,

Your face will always be hidden,

Deep inside our hearts,

Each precious moment you gave us,

Shall never ever depart,

So go and run free with the angels,

As they sing so tenderly,

And please be sure to tell them,

To take good care of you for me.
