Gone Away An Angel whispered take my hand and come with me your work here is done. I went away to a place where there are no tears, nor sorrow only laughter and smiles, there will always be a tomorrow. As I move amongst the clouds, I'll look down and smile upon you while the angels sing a heavenly song. I am not alone All who went before are here They awaited my arrival. I know you'll grieve and wish I was still here I am here in memories you hold dear. Remember how much I love you and know I took your love with me. I did not wish for you to cry, nor feel sad. My pain is gone and I am free! Soon you'll come to me. Until then, God will be with you just as He's with me.
