Sweet Dreams:

Sweet Dreams:
Today I said goodbye I promised that I wouldn't cry
Wings spread open wide and a Soul did fly
I heard their voices of all the choices
of life and love and death
Today we laid him in the ground to rest
His hands crossed gently across his chest
pictures and memories graced the room
but not as much as his carefree spirit graced the world
Could you of walked a mile in his shoes
would you even know what to do
Today I said goodbye I promised that I wouldn't cry
although I am not sure why
We all come to this world and in the end we die
It is the circle that knows no end and the fate that doesn't bend
The suffering in life no longer be He's in a better place
That is what they want us all to see
Today I said goodbye I promised that I wouldn't cry
Then minutes passed by so hard I tried
but in the end to myself I lied
For the tears began to pour upon the portal
placed deep within the earth his final rest
blankets green and brown pillows made of rock
Today I said goodbye I promised that I wouldn't cry
although I am not sure why cause the tears won't dry
Today his final place to sleep with hands of time
with memories for us to keep
Today we said goodbye he drifted into eternal sleep
all that was left to do was weep
