Verse 1

Today the heavens were crying,
Because you should still be here.
Your time with us was over,
But it came far too soon.

We didn’t have enough time
With that kind and beautiful smile,
The smile I knew I could rely on,
The one that could brighten a room.

People gathered around you,
Drawn to the warmth you carried.
There was something about your presence
That made people want to stay awhile.

Chorus

Today the heavens were crying,
And down here, so were we.
You should still be here beside us,
That’s where you’re supposed to be.

We weren’t ready to lose your laughter,
We weren’t ready to say goodbye.
Today the heavens were crying,
As they opened up the sky.

Verse 2

Your sense of humor was everything.
You had your own unique way
Of saying exactly what was on your mind,
And somehow making everyone’s day.

You didn’t have to try to be funny.
You were simply being you.
And the laughter that surrounded you
Was part of the love you gave us too.

You cared so deeply
About the people who meant so much to you.
You didn’t just tell people you cared—
You made sure that they felt it too.

Chorus

Today the heavens were crying,
And down here, so were we.
You should still be here beside us,
That’s where you’re supposed to be.

We weren’t ready to lose your laughter,
We weren’t ready to say goodbye.
Today the heavens were crying,
As they opened up the sky.

Verse 3

I remember the long talks we had,
The conversations that seemed to go on forever,
And I remember the trips we took,
The memories we made together.

Those moments seemed so ordinary then,
But now they mean so much more.
I’d give anything for one more conversation,
One more trip, one more laugh like before.

When I found out that you were gone,
My heart felt completely lost.
You were an integral part of my life,
And losing you came at such a cost.

You weren’t simply someone I knew.
You became part of my story.
And I know so many others
Will carry your memory with them too.

Bridge

If I could say one more thing to you,
I would tell you this:

As much as you are going to be missed,
I know you were given wings of gold,
Because your heart was full of gold.

A heart that cared deeply.
A heart that made us laugh.
A heart that made people feel loved.
A heart we will never forget.

So spread those golden wings now.
You have somewhere new to go.
And we’ll carry all you gave us
In the hearts you came to know.

Final Chorus

Today the heavens were crying,
But maybe they were smiling too,
Because somewhere beyond those clouds,
Heaven was welcoming you.

We weren’t ready to lose your laughter.
We weren’t ready to say goodbye.
But a heart as golden as yours
Was never meant to simply die.

Your smile lives in our memories.
Your laughter echoes on.
The love you gave so freely
Will remain even though you’re gone.

Outro

Today the heavens were crying.

And so were we.

Because you should still be here.

But I know you were given
Wings of gold…

Because your heart
Was full of gold.
