It’s been a year of darkness alone

the sharpest pain that I’ve ever known

but life goes on since I lost my nephew

 

I no longer wait for him by the phone

because I know Justin is by the throne

on my own tryin’ to see my way thru

 

Now when I see my brother we cry

since he told me my nephew died

I hold him tight because I love him

 

Although we try to get on with life

‘cause Justin left us without a good-bye

trying to smile ‘neath the sun above him

 

As great memories of Justin grow

a great big smile before he hit the road

all grown up and he’s doing his own thing

 

Now he’s walking heavenly streets of gold

smiling beneath his tilted halo that’s aglow

on his back I can see his angel wings
