Tonight I though I heard
the fluttering of distant wings
and it wasn't long before I heard
a choir of shining angels start to sing
Then heaven's bells rang out so loud and clear
in soft melodious tones
and all God's saint's rejoiced again
as another soul was safely welcomed home
A gentle breeze across my brow
told me that you were here
for as best friends
we always held each other dear
And I know you came tonight
one last time before you fly to God on high
to say a final 'See ya later gator'
but ner goodbye
I'll miss you, Roy
you were my special friend
but I'll meet you soon upon the milky way
where loving friendships never end
So fly high now, my cherished one
enjoy your blessed stay
for soon we'll fly together
upon some special happy day
And you and I will laugh again
sweet sounds of gentle mirth
as we soar high up in the cosmos
above God's awesome earth
Farewell to you, for just a little while
but save a place beside you, friend
for I want to sit there with you
whenere my time on earth doth end
And in the meantime
I'll see you in the summer rain
or in a red birds song
I'll hear you in a babbling brook
as it gently flows along
I'll see you in a butterfly
as it glides on silvered wings
I'll feel you in the gentle breeze
for I know you're all these things
Goodbye one last time, dear Roy
to me you were God's on special light
but I know all things come to and end
and so for now, I'll only say 'goodnight'
and as you always said to me
'I Love You'
