Tribute

Following are the lyrics from the song I wrote for my dear, dear friend, K, who passed away on September 5th. I wrote this song the week he died. Friday will mark 2 months since his death, and I can't help but wonder if the pain ever subsides. I miss him dearly and can't wait until the day we are reunited.

K’s Song (Guardian Angel)

I fell asleep and woke up to God and His angels.

They lifted me up and set me free.

I know you can’t see me, but

I’ll always be watching.

I’ll be your guardian angel.

I’ll be your guardian angel.

I’ll be your guardian angel now.

So, keep smiling, keep laughing, and remember me always.

I’m gone now, but I’m free.

And when the light calls you home,

I’ll be standing here waiting

To take you in my arms again,

To take you in my arms again,

To take you in my arms again.

I lived for your happiness and sacrificed mine,

But it was worth it just to see you smile.

I didn’t know how, but hold on a little longer.

I’m not really so far away.

And I’ll be your guardian angel.

I’ll be your guardian angel.

I’ll be your guardian angel now.

So, keep smiling, keep laughing, and remember me always.

I’m gone now, but I’m free.

And when the light calls you home,

I’ll be standing here waiting

To take you in my arms again,

To take you in my arms again,

To take you in my arms again.

We’ll walk together along the streets of heaven,

And we’ll never be apart again.

We’ll walk together along the streets of heaven,

And we’ll never be apart again.

And I’ll still be your guardian angel.

I’ll be your guardian angel.

I’ll be your guardian angel now.

So, keep smiling, keep laughing, and remember me always.

I’m gone now, but I’m free.

And when the light calls you home,

I’ll be standing here waiting

To take you in my arms again,

To take you in my arms again,

To take you in my arms again.

K, I still think of you all the time, and I have often felt your presence. I continue to feel these words I penned from you. I love you and miss you!
