If Roses Grow in Heaven

If Roses grow in Heaven,

Lord please pick a bunch for me.

Place them in Lucy’s arms

and tell her they’re from me.

 

Tell her I love her and miss her,

and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek and hold

her for a while.

 

Because remembering her is easy,

I do it every day,

But there’s an ache within my heart

that will never go away.
