An angel in the book of life wrote down your birth; And whispered as she closed the book; Too beautiful for earth; Always know that we truly loved you; From the time your life began inside your mother's womb; Until our Lord in heaven called you home; I'll miss you until we meet again; And take comfort in knowing; Love is all you'll ever know; And we will smile and be happy; For today you get your wings
