"God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you And whispered, 'Come with me' With tearful eyes we watched you And saw you pass away And though we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating Hard-working hands at rest, And although our hearts were broken, God proved to us He only takes the best." Aus den Augen aber niemals aus dem Sinn.
