I know your heart feels empty
The pain seems hard to bear
I know how much you miss me
And wish that I was still there
But don't be sad without me
I don't want you to cry
I never really left you
And we never said goodbye
My body wouldn't let me
Do the things that children do
I didn't get to live the life
That you had wanted me to
I am free from pain now
And although I couldn't stay
Know that I am happy
And can run around and play
Cherish all the memories
But don't let time stand still
I'll always be beside you
And you know I always will
You know that the day will come
And you'll see me again
For now I'll live within your heart
And it's there I will remain
So don't be sad without me
For I'm with you everyday
And although you cannot see me
I'm never far away
