For You Pearl
Your gone
You closed your eyes
You never said good-bye
All thats left
Are the teardrops
That fall from our eyes
The only hope we have left
Is when well meet
When our time is near
Ride the rainbow
To heaven
For someday well meet
When its our turn
To ride the rainbow
To heaven
Sleep in Peace
Sister-In-Law our love for you
Is in Heaven
Where youll be
