One Last Touch

Why did he have to die?
He didn't even get to say goodbye
He left us late one night 
We need him here to hold tight
You took and made him an angel now
While we sit, wonder,and ask how
If you would only send him back
Then our lives would be back on track
We miss our friend so much
What we'd give for one last touch
One last look at his beautiful face 
Now he's staying at God's Place
Just one chance to hear his voice
Now we don't have a choice
We will one day have our revenge
We'll be looking 'til the very end
