Song Description

Pondering what to put on my mom's headstone.

Lyrics

In a room full of roses some wires and hoses
Momma lay on her dying day.
A monitor beeped, Our family weeped
As we prayed her pain away.

All those memories I kept became dreams as I slept
They'd drift by like clouds in the sky.
I'd could picture some place, then see her face
I'd wake up with tears in my eyes
CHORUS:
Headstone Headstone
What words shall I choose for you?
How can I define in one or two lines
Her lifetime........... I wish I knew.

I saw her breathe her last breath then leave
Silently, I begged her to stay
Watched her life fade, Lowered her shade
And stayed till they took her away.

Her bed was empty. That's when it hit me
I'd couldn't see my mom anymore.
I felt my tears sting as I gathered her things
Walked slowly out and closed the door.
BRIDGE:
There was a long black herse. He read chapter n verse
family and friends paid respect in line
I clenched my fist, I couldn't handle it
I thought we had more time.
CHORUS:
Headstone, Headstone
What words shall I choose for you?
How can I define in one or two lines
Her lifetime.................. I wish I knew.

Headstone, headstone
Her body's lying under
But her soul is safe at home

Headstone, standng in the rain
With five words engraved
For those who remain. It reads
OUR LOSS IS GODS GAIN
