Light a Candle

Light a Candle

We'll light a candle just for you
As we whisper that we love you
We'll say goodbye as you make us all cry
Your an angel up in the sky

Nothing will ever ease the pain
I don’t think we'll ever stop crying again
But we'll never forget you
You will always be so very precious
To us and the rest of the family
When we look up at the sky above
We'll think of you with only love

Tears will trickle down our face and
We'll remember only the good times we had
With you and your loving ways
Your beautiful smile and laughter and
A caring mother too
You always brightened us up and
Made us all smile in many different ways

So when we light a candle for you and whisper
That we love you
We'll remember all the special times
That God let us spend with you 

So mom from us all 
Good night and God bless 
We love you more
