Laid To Rest

From the last moments of you life, 
Til you were laid to rest.
I know that in my heart, 
you always done your best.

 You always showed me love, 
And caring from the heart.
I knew you were the one, 
from the very start.

 Your love was a kind one,
 secure and everlast.
You helped to take me away,
from an evil past.

 For that I will always thank you.
I'll always be in debt.
As for my love, 
it has no such regret.

 My heart belongs to you.
Your the keeper of the key.
You'll always be my love.
Forever you and me.

 There will be no other.
Your forever my true love.
As each passing day, 
you'll watch me from above.

 I can feel your presence, 
as if your still around.
I can hear your voice,
 whisper little sounds.

 I can feel you with me,
as I go to bed at night.
I can feel your arms,
hold just me as tight.

 Now the time has come.
I'll be laid to rest.
Knowing in my heart 
you always done your best.
