If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say "Goodbye,"
you were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears will flow.
What it meant to lose you -
no one can ever know.
If we could bring you back again
for one more hour or day,
we'd express all our unspoken love,
we'd have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again
we'd say we treasured you,
and that your presence in our lives
meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again
to tell you what we should,
you'd know how much we miss you now
and if we could, we would.
