God saw that you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He puts His arms around you
And whispered, ``Come home with me.''
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
And a determined sprit was at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
