With You Always
As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere
With love
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
we would pray to god with all our hearts
just to see and speak to you
A thousand words wont bring you back
we know because we`ve tried
and neither will a million tears
we know because we`ve cried
You`ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories to
but we never wanted memories
we only wanted you
With you always
As the sun came up this morning
i watched you there below
your heart seemed oh so heavy
but there's something you should know
i`m not gone dont worry
i`m just a step ahead
and i`m with you every single day
as you rise up from your bed
i`m the sun that warms you
i`m the moons soft glow
i`m the stars that twinkles
and lights your path below
so when at times you miss me
just look for me i`m there
for you cannot hide my spirit
it is with you everywhere

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two
one side filled with heartache
the other died with you.
I often lay awake at night
when the world is fast asleep
and take a walk down memory lane
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy
i do it every day
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away
we have a guardian angel
he comes with us everywhere
althought we cannot see him
we knew he is always there
when we're drowning in the darkness
he shines a light to guide the way
when we'er suffering with sadness
he brightens up our day
he holds us when we're lonely
and smiles with us when were glad
he reminds us of the memories
and the happy times we had
he is the sunshine throught the clouds
and the whistle in the wind
hes the flowing of the waterfall
and every pretty thing
he helps us to grow stronger
with each day that goes by
he is the brightest star
shining high up in the sky
