He Brought "Gold" Into Our Lives
The day came when I was in pain
And you knew I wouldn't be well again
You did what had to be done
For a battle that could not be won
It broke your heart but you were kind
You didn't let your grieving sway your
mind
For this was when you let me see
Just how much you cared about me
Together we've had happy years
The future now can hold no fears
You didn't let me suffer so
When that day came, you let me go
Don't be sad that it was you
Who decided this was what to do
We've been buddies through the years
Don't let me be the cause of tears..
I live now in your heart and mind
A lovely place to stay
And what you have in memories
No one can take away
