Stay close to me, that I might hear,
The beating of your heart.
As always I will want you near,
As you have been from the start.
Stay close to me, that I may see,
The sparkle of your eyes.
Those eyes that one day gave to me,
The most endearing heartfelt sighs.
Then lay you flowers, here on top,
And dropp in a handful of dirt.
Remember life goes on, it doesn't stop,
And smile a while, despite the hurt.
