Lyrics
'In my Heart'
You were my friend, my rock of ages
Always close there by my side
Four years blessed, we turned the pages
Our little book of fireside
You knew my ways and how to comfort
You sat by me and me by you
Love is precious, love is perfect
You gave your all to help me through
And I, I couldn't save you
And I, I tried to save you
They took you for the way you looked
Dragged you from my breaking heart
Ripped the pages from our book
And kept us far, so far apart
I fought the law I fought the system
I fought for you as mothers do
I fought because I thought they'd listen
I cried and fought and cried for you...
And I, I couldn't save you
And I, I tried to save you
I stood beside you one last memory
To say goodbye and keep you near
My special one, you'll never leave me...
And none shall ever hurt you here
You're in my heart my loyal angel
We battled on until the end
I keep you where all prayers are sacred
For none can break the bond of friends
And I, I couldn't save you
And I, I tried to save you
And I, I couldn't save you
And I, I tried to save you...
