If Words Could Bring a Twinkle Back
If hugs could bring you back to us
And kisses bring a smile
We'd smother you with lots of love
We'd go that extra mile
If words could bring a twinkle back
to your eyes so far away
We'd talk and sing about your life
We'd read to you and pray
If holding your hand and touching your cheek
could bring back the memories gone by
We'd do all these things and much more for you
We'd give it our best prayerful try
But your mind is in a distant place
Your soul on Angle's wings
Your spirit floats on memories
Your voice no longer sings
You've lived a life so full of love
You've lived a life that's good
You dedicated your life to family
You did all that you should
So fly above the clouds so high
Feel the breeze upon your face
Welcome Angels at your door
Bow down to God's full Grace
Your spirit lives within us all
Your joy and laughter too
Soon eyes will get their twinkle back
But ours will be deep blue
