Gone Before Her Time

Heaven
I look up at night
Wondering why
Why did you take her 
Why
Why did you take her
I hope everything up there is everything she wanted 

It just seem to soon to take her
Missing her boy grow into a man
He’s in need of her
Send her down to watch over him

Why did you have to take her so soon
Why
Why

We weren’t ready for your departure to heaven
It came so sudden
So sudden
We weren’t ready for your departure 
No No No

Come home

So sorry for your loss Paul. Losing a loved one is even more heartbreaking when they go before their time. Tom
