Keep Her Safe For Me/By Danielle (Rogers)Earls

This one written by my oldest daughter


Keep Her Safe For Me

Tell me what do I do, now that you are gone
 Can someone please tell me, because I feel so alone?

How do I stop these tears forever falling like rain?
 Lord can you help me; I think I'm going insane

I can't seem to close my eyes; your face is all I see
 Oh what I would give, to have you back with me

I have so many questions since I wasn't there
 Did you go peacefully or did you struggle for air

I guess that you were ready to spread your wings and fly
 And take that journey home with the man in the sky

I can't understand why you had to go
That is the one thing I'd truly like to know

If I could have one wish this is what it'd be
For you to have opened your eyes and come back home with me

I know that you're all right; you're with the ones that you loved so
 But lord could You not see; I wasn't ready to let her go

So lord I'm asking You, keep her safe for me
 Until it is my time, it's her face I long to see
