HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put his arm around you
And He whispered "Come To Me."
A golden heart stopped beating
A precious soul at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away
And though we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
A precious soul at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
