Almost home We all knew the day would come, but it came up way too soon Now there’s an empty feeling in this house, an empty bed there in her room It was hard to let her leave, wish I could call her on the phone Would love to hear her voice one more time, but I know she’s almost home *chorus: Yes, she’s almost home, she’s on her way And even though it hurts so much, I knew she couldn’t stay Life is only temporary, she was here on a loan Now she’s almost home As we sat beside her bed, sang her songs and said a prayer Knowing heaven’s call had come, dad was waiting for her there God was whispering so soft, it was time for her to go And even though it broke our hearts, it was comforting to know * I’ll hold tight to her memory and her spirit will live on She’ll be watching over all of us and never really gone *
