Lyrics
His heart was as big as the ocean
His faith as deep as the sea
And I am merely his reflection
A drop of his spirit lives in me
If you'd asked him he'd say I had a full life
With a loving wife and a blessed family
I tried to be of service to my fellow man
Done all that God asked of me
Chorus:
There's an angel chorus that welcomes him home
As he crosses over the glen
He turns and waves, smiles and says
Take care till we meet again
Its ok to shed a tear cause we're remaining here
He left sooner than we wanted him to go
But at least we had the chance to hug him one last time
And whisper how we love him so
Chorus
