In my mind I'll never forget How serene she looked in a violet sleep With her head on a pillow of velvet She was just too beautiful to keep. She could have passed for an angel In her silk designer gown She always took my breath away But I couldn't stay in that town. So I whispered my broken goodby's, Afraid to disturb her slumber The salt in my tears just burned my eyes, It was the last time I'd ever see her. Deep in my heart I will never forget How serene she looked there asleep With her head on a pillow of velvet But now she's resting six feet deep. She's back with the other angels Looking down with those deep green eyes She must have heard my farewell, Her smile is there the skies. Somehow I knew she would leave, She didn't belong on this earth. But I know I'll always grieve For the angel I've loved from birth. I'll just hold her in my mind 'Till I can join her once again But for now my heart is resigned To love our son 'till then.
