I’ve got your ring and lock of hair
to carry with me everywhere

Warm memories of our life together
I thought they would last forever

All the plans we made for our future
how our lives would be nurtured

You went away the other day
and didn’t ask me if you may

An angel came and took your hand
and left me your golden band

I know you didn’t want to leave
nor do you want me to grieve

But when I look around at all to see
your place in heaven was meant to be

You were always so sweet and kind
a rare jewel so hard to find

I ask the Lord above at night
why he took you from me, my star so bright

For losing you is such a terrible price
I have much anger and am not so nice

My heart is breaking more each day
but this must be the price we pay

You knew my love was strong and sweet
my heart and love were at your feet

Not only were you my husband and mentor
you were my lover and made my heart soar

When I’m ready to go with you dear
take my hand for you are near.
