Like sweet fragrance of spring,
You whispered sweet lullabies,
The songs that angels sing,
You gave yourself so freely,
Asking nothing in return,

A lesson for us to learn,
Your spirit roams the stars,
Like a comet in the sky,

Just what you mean to me,
You are more close to heaven,
Than I could ever be,

Just call and I'll be there,
