heavy cool pallor
over this room
air fearfully still
yet windows...wide open
you came and you went
as you had a mind to
but this time your leaving
...has left us without you

hopin' rainbows of angels are watchin' our baby
and that she's smiling at us
and looking so proud
for that's the way we all feel about her
a loving dear spirit
who did livin' out loud

with beauty so rare
no finger can point it
at the difference that she made
when she entered a room
for the gleam in her eye
hot fire within her
was more than enough
to melt you away

there's a lump in our throats when we think about you
how you fought through the pain
and faced down the fear
teardrops are falling
'cause you're not around us
but you touched our lives
you'll always be here
