She gave to me her tenderness Her friendship and her love I see her face from time to time There in the sky above We grew up learning as we went What a voyage our life could be It took us through a wilderness Into the calmest sea Her smile could lift me from the pain I often found within She said some things I won't forget She made a few bells ring So simple her humility Her beauty found in grace Today she lives another life In some fantastic place She showed me how to raise a smile Out of a bed of gloom And in her garden sanctuary A life began to bloom She visualized a world ahead And planned how it would be She left behind the strongest love That lives eternally I have the hope that when it's time For me to come her way That she'll be there to show me around Whenever comes that day Her love was life and happiness And in her steps I trace The way to live a better life In some fantastic place, some fantastic place.
