The morning light was soft and low

The clouds had left an early snow

A peaceful sound was calling low

It's time to go


Then God reached out his tender hand

And gently pulled her home with him

And brushed away the sorrow from

Her soul within


And I could hear the roses sing

A bluebird softly claps its wings

The sun seemed brighter than it's ever been


And now she's dancing in the wind

With her true love again

Where her heart has always been

Where her heart has always been


And I could hear the roses sing

A bluebird softly claps its wings

The sun seemed brighter than it's ever been


And now she's dancing in the wind

With her true love again

Where her heart has always been

Where her heart has always been

Where her heart has always been


The morning light was soft and low

The clouds had left an early snow
