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 in sadness
and secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you -
no one will ever know!

Theres a little room in heaven
with windows all around
for you my precious boy
to look down on this ground.

From your little room in Heaven,
you're not far at all from me,
for my precious little darling
you're in my memory.

So my precious little boy
be happy, and someday you will see,
someone will be holding you,
and that someone will be me.

Mommie never will forget you,
with your little eyes so blue,
the way you turned your little head,
and looked me through and through.

So until that house in heaven
has an extra room for me,
I'll keep you locked up in my heart
and in my memory.

The mention of my child's name
May bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring
Music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
Let me hear the beautiful music of his name.
It soothes my broken heart
And sings to my soul.
