But in my heart you will always stay.

Feel your love in the gentle breeze.

And when I find I miss you the most,

Inside our beautiful memories

I will hold you close.

You are an angel watching over me

>with the comfort and blessings you bring,

You embrace my heart and hold it close,

Forever on Angel's Wings
