Verse 1
I still remember that hospital room,
Her hands were cold, but her heart was true.
Whispered “I love you” with her fading breath,
I knew she was slipping into her rest.
Later that night I got the call
to hurry to the hospital, so I ran down that hall.
Daddy stood there fighting tears,
Saying, “I’m sorry… the doctors tried to keep her here.”
But I told Daddy it’s ok,
’Cause I’d already told her I loved her and said my goodbye
before I left her room earlier that day —
my heart already knew.
Chorus
She’s gone home where the pain all ends,
Where the broken hearts finally mend.
God took her hand and He carried her in,
And somehow He held us through every wind.
If her leaving brought us closer to Him,
Then I’ll trust His grace again and again.
I’ll always love her, and I know deep within…
One day, I’ll see her again.
Verse 2
Three long years she fought that cancer,
And watching her struggle those last six months
just trying to stay alive
was so painful to see — feeling helpless
as she slowly faded right in front of me.
I remember one morning on her porch swing,
Coffee in hand, she told me one thing:
“The doctor said I’ve maybe got three months left.”
She said she questioned God with every breath —
“Why me, Lord? What did I do
to deserve being torn apart by something like this?”
Then she looked at me and said,
“I don’t know why God chose this road,
but if it brings my family home to God,
I will walk it with a willing heart.”
Chorus
She’s gone home where the pain all ends,
Where the broken hearts finally mend.
God took her hand and He carried her in,
And somehow He held us through every wind.
If her leaving brought us closer to Him,
Then I’ll trust His grace again and again.
I’ll always love her, and I know deep within…
One day, I’ll see her again.
Bridge
Daddy’s in church now every week,
My uncle found the faith he’d seek.
And I found God in the middle of pain —
And somehow I’m not the same.
Final Chorus
She’s gone home where the pain all ends,
Where the broken hearts finally mend.
God took her hand and He carried her in,
And He’s been healing us ever since.
If her journey brought us closer to Him,
Then I’ll trust His heart through every bend.
I’ll always love her, and I know deep within…
One day, I’ll see her again.
