Papaw

The Morning We received The Call Oh How The Tears Did Fall
She Went To Sleep Your Beautiful Bride, Your Best Friend
Woke Your Widow
Oh How I Pray Her Heart Will Mend 
What We'd Do For One More Day 
Thinking Of All The Thing's We Would Say
Today's The Day They Lay You To Rest 
Wishing For Days This Hurts Less
Moments And Memories May Be All We Have Left 
And For That We Are Truly Blessed
