When my life on this earth is over
When my last breath is done
I will fly away on angel wings
My sights set on the rising sun
Over the mountains I will fly
Passing the eagle along the way
I will feel no more pain and sorrow
On this the first of my eternal days
High above the vastest ocean
Beyond the deepest blue sea
Light and free spirited my soul
Elated at last…reveling in ecstasy
No more tears shall I then shed
No more sad rivers will I cry
If a drop does befall my face
A tear of happiness will leave my eye
Remember me as one who had loved
To the deepest core of my heart
An everlasting memory retained
The moment we last did depart
This earth was but a short journey
Sometimes lonely I did roam
Now that I have my angel wings
I am now flying off to home…
