I looked unto the Heavens blue,

and saw an angel and knew it was you,

I saw a dove fly high and away shall he roam,

I knew this was Gods way of calling you home.

God's love was shown when He gave the world you,

for all of the wonderful things you would do,

gentle father, I was blessed when He gave you to me,

forever I shall love only one,mortal man, that is thee.

I bring the rain for you gentle father,thy love is a balm, 

when I think of thy sweet smile and voice lo,I am calm,

when the music is played as I shall always do,

every note will express how much I love you.
