Matthew, My Angel

Anxiously we waited for you to be born
Never thinking you would leave us so soon
We only held you for a moment
You were so tiny in our arms
Our sweet baby boy
Perfect in every way
With beautiful blond hair
And long slender fingers
But though we never heard your laughter
Or saw your beautiful smile
You will always be in our hearts
And one day we will hold you again

You never said I'm leaving,
you never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knew why.
A million times I needed you,
a million tears I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
that no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone-
for part of me went with you
the day God took you home.

Angel Standing By

All through the night, I'll be standing over you
All through the night, I'll be watching over you
And through the bad dreams I'll be right there baby
Holding your hand, telling you everything is alright
And when you cry, I'll be right there
Telling you you were never anything less than beautiful
So don't you worry
I'm your angel standing by

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
and secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you -
no one will ever know.
