For 'Murphy' with love  from Tricia and Dave

We Only Wanted You

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
we never wanted memories,
we only wanted you.

A million times we needed you,
a million times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
we'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
