Don'T Worry Bout a Thing

It's sad to say all you are now
Is just a memory
But somehow in that now, I'll get along
So don't worry bout a thing

If you see that I am crying
From your home in heaven above
Just know my dear the reason why
I do it out of love

Love it was the answer
When we were together
Now all I can do is question
Why so soon you had to leave here

At so early of a life
At so early in the stage
When I clearly wasn't ready 
To give it all away

But ready or not
Gone you still are
All except for the scar
That's been left on my heart

It is sad to say on that day you became
A heartfelt memory
But you my love are a good one
So don't worry bout a thing



For all those who have lost loved ones...

Christmas is hard when you've lost someone you love. You brought a tear.
