Never say that she is dead

We will not say that she is dead.
We have never said that she is dead. 
We will never say that she is dead. 

We’ll say she’s in heaven
We will say she passed away
We tell the children she went to God’s house
And became an angel on the way. 

We say she’s gone
We say she died
But none of us have ever said she’s dead
We will never say that she is dead.
