1.
We are gathered here today
to offer feeble words
again-
they seem so small.

Friends and family are here
and an angel somewhere
measures blow for blow.
What else can you say?

We light our little candles
to remember you
knowing all too well
they can´t take the darkness from the soul.
We remember you.

Chorus:
Solveig,  Solveig-
See you smilin´ in the sun,
hear you laughin´ in the wind,
Solveig...

2.  
You should have
learned to walk
played with friends,
laughed and danced and sung...
danced and sung.

And tommorrow
I´ll go to work, take the train,
pick up milk and bread,
but I can´t help but feel

with each moment, with each breath
that I´ve stolen them, somehow,
from someone...
Was it you?

Chorus:

3.
Now even God is silent
but still we pray.
Oh there´s gonna be a mighty judgement day!

´Cause it´s ashes to ashes
and dust to dust-
do the dead really rise?
They must!  They must!

If some they die so early,
if others linger suffering,
if a sparrow falls
to the ground...
we´ll remember you.

Chorus:

4.
Now all good things are three.
So won´t you bring your little trinity
and come and spread your sunshine round,
´cause we need it now.

It´s hard for us to understand
how you lived a life-time full
in the all-too-short season of your summer.

But we feel your warmth around us
and in your parents´ proud eyes
we see that you were loving and are loved
and you live on.

Chorus:
