Bitter tears I cried last night
Dreaming that you were here
Your tiny toes and soft pink cheeks
Wishing I could hold you here in my arm
Thinking of what could have been
If you were only allowed to stay
You were my angel, my little one
Before you were ours to embrace
I'd pictured you a part of me
A life time of memories to live
We both loved you before we knew
You were lost to us, my baby dear
Here in our hearts you'll always be
Our precious baby, dear and close
You were our joy, our little girl
But never meant to stay
Keep our love and all our hope
Wrapping you safely, holding tight
Until we are all together again
Always and forever near
