Forever in my Heart
You are forever in my Heart, the day will come, I know when all the rain has fallen, and the Sun begins to show I'll think of you in all I do, your warmth will touch my face you'll twinkle in the Starlight, and be held in each embrace. So please do not be saddened, if a tear for you I shed, but we had dreams and wishes, which I'll safely keep instead. Although it hurts, I understand you'd somewhere else to be, our time together has not passed, you'll always be with me in everyday, in every way, you'll always be a part my precious angel, you're forever in my heart.
