I Only Wanted You

 

They say memories are golden

Well that may be true.

I never wanted memories

I only wanted you

 

A million times I needed you,

a million times I cried.

If love alone could have saved you

you would never have died.

 

In life I loved you dearly,

in death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place

 no one could ever fill.

 

If tears could build a stairway

and heartache make a lane,

I’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.
