My life was as bright as the sun                                      
She was fierce, fearless and always fun                        
Now my life is the night                                                   
Even the moon cringes in sight                                      
Because she left to be above                                         

I spend my days hanging my heavy head down               
Head so low, it is falling to the ground                               
I push to think of another thing                                          
But in my head, her words would ring                                
Because she left to be above                                                                                      

Now my heart is a shriveled grape                                   
It is all messed up and bent out of shape                         
I walk to her grave                                                                                                                          
and myself I forgave                                                           
Because she left to be above                                           

A heavy weight is lifted of my back                                    
And I started home, back on track                                      
The trees began to ripen                                                      
And my face began to brighten                                           
Because she left to be above                                            

My soul now is sweetened                                                  
Almost as sweet as the garden of Eden                             
She really did not have a longer stay                                   
But that is okay                                                                     
She left to be above                                                              

My life was as bright as the sun                                      
She was fierce, fearless, and always fun                        
Now, my life is the night

Because she left to be above    
                                                                                 
Now my heart is a shriveled grape                                   
It is broken and bent out of shape                         
I walk to her grave                                                                                                                          
And myself I forgave
