I held you once before me
Until you went away
Your angel face for to see
But no more, not today.

No shed of tears I had to cry
When came the stunning news
My little one I watched you lie
Such peace and yet no clues.

God carried you away from me
To heavens in the sky
There you sit upon His knee
And here I'm left to sigh.

One day we'll be together
To cross the fields so blue
A walk in coloured heather
Holding hands, me and you.
