The city of Angels
Has lost one of their own
A beautiful soul
Who's been called home
A daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother
A friend to so many
Memories of her
They'll always be plenty
Days you will remember
The good times with her
How it seems it all passed
Just like a blur
Her memories will last forever
As her spirit will to
They'll always be a part of her
Living inside of you
For when you love someone
They live in your heart forever
It's such a powerful feeling
That you will never sever
So now, she's in God's hands
Safe from all hurt and pain
Although you know your life
Without her, will never be the same
Shed your tears let it out
It's no shame to show your pain
It's a heart breaking experience
After which we are never the same
There's nothing more tragic
Then a parent losing a child
I have been there
For a long time I lost my smile
But I did recover as you will to
It's going to take a while
But that's alright
Because in time you'll find your smile
