You were taken from us so suddenly
This I'll never understand
How I wish to see your face, or touch your little hand

I'll never know the reason why God took you in this way
I can only hope to see you where you are someday

If I could have been there that night,
I'd do all that I could to save you and protect you.
But God had other plans and wanted only you

I know that you are with me, all the time, in fact
But I can't help feeling how desparately I want you back

If you ever want to see me, or reach out in some way
Always remember, Cheryl, I'm just a thought away
