We lost someone special that day

Someone pure and whole

But Heaven gained an angel

We long for one more word

One more touch

We lost someone special that day

Her heart of gold stopped beating

And her lusterous eyes went dark

But Heaven gained an angel

Roses were ashamed to bloom

In the presence of her beauty

We lost someone special that day

No one was ready to lose her

Nor to say those grieving goodbyes

But Heaven gained an angel

With tearful eyes we watched her

As she slowly slipped away

We lost someone special that day

But Heaven gained an angel
