A Tribute

My sweet cousin, Leslea, started to write a song when her sister Angela died in a terrible car accident in 1997. She finished it last night during her grieving for our cousin Julie. It is the most beautiful song I think I've heard in a long time. It brings the spirit and touches my heart, I believe the way Leslea intended for it to be. It is going to be my new theme song. Hopefully I will be able to live up to the words. They are as follows:
I'll send you the words.
You took my breath away
The face of a mortal turning angel
And the tears began to show
Oh I couldn't let you go
So I held your hand,
and I promised you over again.
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Take this air I would have breathed
Let it left your wings
Fly, fly
You took my breath away
May your laugh and smile
Descend from heaven
will you whisper in my ear?
Sing a song that will wipe away my tears?
When the days are hard to bare
I pray you'll let me know you're here.
Waiting on an angel
Want to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon cause I don't want to go alone
You have your breath
Away you left to fulfill a higher calling
Oh we pray to find our way.
So that we will be together someday.
Oh our hearts are turned to you
Teach us all that we should do
We won't let you down
Please don't let us down
We'll take the air you'll give to breath we'll let it lift our wings to fly fly fly
