Take Me Along
I think back over my lifetime,
And all I wonder where the years have all gone;
I'll charish the memories we have collected,
But when I leave, PLease take me along.

Not so much as in body but spirit,
You'll always be in my heart;
We'll be together in Heaven, I know this,
As we've been from our very first start.

To say i'll miss you is so simple,
Just let me tell you how much;
As high as a mountain in summer,
Your sweet love and gental touch.

The days we've shared are so priceless,
The good and sad times I'll remember;
We built our own little corner of this world,
For many Januarys to all those Decembers.

You are my friend and loving companion,
I'm thankful you've been here for me;
So when it's time to let go of each other,
I pray for each of us to see...

Our life together was wonderful,
The sad things will forever be gone;
So please remember my wishes,
If you go first, Please take me along.
