[Spoken:]
I dedicate this song to all those
who have lost loved ones
along the way. If we hold on
we'll gonna see them again after while.
How can I forget the times you held my hand
and wipe the tears from my eyes
How can I forget oh yeah
that when I needed someone
you were right by my side
I know you had to be an angel in the skies
sent from God to bring joy to my life
And now you are gone back home
and I want you to know
[Chorus:]
I still hear your voice
I still feel your touch
and when I close my eyes
I can see your smile
though you're gone away to a better place
I can't wait to be with you
after while
ooh after while.
Sometimes I break down
but I accept God's will
in spite of the way I feel
Sometimes I wish that I
I wish that I
I could take your place
You should not have gone that way
but I know you were an angel in the skies
sent from God
to bring joy to my life
[Chorus]
