Lyrics
Why did she have to go
So young I just don’t know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason, without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waitin’
And I know she’s smilin’ sayin’, don’t worry ’bout me
Loved ones she left behind
Just tryin’ to survive
And understand the why
Feelin’ so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then askin’ for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hopin’ that maybe
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waitin’
And I know she’s smilin’ sayin’, don’t worry ’bout me
It’s hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I’ll cherish
And I won’t cry ’cause
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waitin’
And I know she’s smilin’ sayin’, don’t worry ’bout me
Don’t worry ’bout me
Don’t worry ’bout me
