But it is a sweet and peaceful way. I've endured pain and sometimes sorrow, No I don't have to worry about tomorrow. Life for you must go on; You must not worry, because I'm gone. You stood beside me all the way. When I was down you knew what to say, you always told me to get some rest. Let me sleep now, I've done my best. So please let me rest in peace. The tears you're shedding soon will cease; You'll soon realize that this was meant to be, I thank God because He came for me.
