I'd like to say something to you
Something kind and gentle
Like the moons and stars
Look down on us and softly cry
Because we're the ones left to hurt
While those we love are safe at last
But I can't
No matter how much I want
There is nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
Nothing will change it
She's gone ...
Gone from us, gone from love
Gone from life, gone from pain
But I'm not gone
I'm here for you
To hold your hand
Hold you close
Hug you dear
Rock you as you cry
And share in your pain
All I have to offer is me
Your Tante will be missed
She will be loved and never forgotten
She was a great woman
And so are you
So here I am tonight
Holding your hand
And rocking you close to my heart
Stroking your hair
As you cry into my chest
Nothing I say or do will make it better
She's gone on to a better place
But what I do and say
Isn't for her
It's for you
And your family
The ones left behind to mourn
Remember, God only cries for the living
Those that are still here
Mourning those we lost
Although they've gone on to a better place
One day we will see them again
But until then
Here I am
