  • You said when you died that you'd walk with me everyday
    And I started to cry and said please don't talk that way
    With a blink of an eye and the Lord came and asked you to leave
    You went to a better place but they stole you away from me

    And now she lives in heaven
    But I know they let her out
    To take care of me
    There's a strange kind of light
    Caressing me tonight
    Pray silence my fear
    She is near
    Bringing heaven down here

    I miss your love I miss your touch
    But I'm feeling you every day
    And I can almost hear you say
    You've come a long way baby

    And now you live in heaven
    But I know they let you out
    To take care of me
    There's a strange kind of light
    In my bedroom tonight
    Pray silence my fear
    She is near
    Bringing heaven down here

    You taught me kings and queens
    While stroking in my head
    In my darkest hour
    I know you are there
    Leaning down beside me
    Whispering my prayers
    There's a strange kind of light
    Caressing me tonight
    Pray silence my fear Writer/s: Robert Peter Williams
