I Know You'Re Up There

I know you're up there somewhere
Watching over me
But I'd give anything
If you were here for me to see
I know this isn't possible
And there's no way this could be
But this aching in my heart
Just gets the best of me
Even though you aren't my daughter
I love you just the same
I felt the loss of a child too
The day the angels came
There are so many things
Throughout each day
That remind me of you
A thought, a song, a memory
Just to name a few
I miss your smile, our little talks
That twinkle in your eye
The way you'd say "I love you too"
Before you'd say good-bye
Your bubbly disposition
And the love for life you had
Were taken from us way too soon
This breaks my heart so bad
Most days I'm really lost
And don't know what to do
Nothing is the same here without our little Boo
Country Concert, Cumberland or shopping at the mall
Christmas vacation in Florida
Didn't we have a ball
These are such wonderful memories
Thank you for them all
They decorate our home
In pictures on the wall
The things we've done the times we've shared
Are so vivid in my mind
And that's where they'll remaind
Until the end of time
There's a void in my heart
Much bigger than the sky
That seems to keep on growing
As the days go by
Some say time will ease the pain
But I'm not sure it's true
Each night I cry myself to sleep
And wake up feeling blue
I ask the lord for guidence
To face another day
And ease this aching in my heart
And help me find my way
I pray someday I'll understand
Whay things like this take place
But I'd give anything right now
To see your smiling face
