Song Description

A parent laments the passing of his/her little girl.

Lyrics

I remember yesterday, long before the pain
in that red brick house across from the college main.
You were just a small child and I remember well
the red dress that you wore, the stories we would tell.

Lonely nights are filled with memories I recall
the sight of your coffin, so tender and so small.
The silence of your empty room, a house that had grown cold
the kiss upon your forehead once the bell had tolled.

Chorus:

Late each night I sit alone and count the falling stars
I hear a melody you play for me on this blue guitar.
It plays so soft, so sweet, it soothes my aching heart
play for me my angel, on my blue guitar.

Life was but a resting spot on your path to a higher place.
There are memories I will cherish, like your smiling face.
I will treasure every joy of every day we shared
and I will see you once again, when my life is but a prayer.

Chorus
