I’M SITTING ON THE MOON

HIS MOTHER SITS AND CRYS BELOW
HER SORROW LEAVES HER BARREN
HER CHILD, SHE LOVED SO DEARLY
NOW LIVES ABOVE IN HEAVEN.

MOMMY, PLEASE STOP CRYING
LET THE WIND BRING YOU MY LAUGHTER
DON’T CRY FOR ME DEAR MOTHER
FOR I SIT ON HEAVENS’ RAFTER.

SHED NO MORE TEARS OF SORROW
FOR I’M SITTING IN THE CLOUDS
I’M HAPPY WHERE I LIVE NOW
SO SHED YOUR MOURNING SHROUDS.

MOM, I KNOW YOU MISS ME
I MISS YOU TOO YOU KNOW
BUT SOON ENOUGH YOU’LL SEE ME
WHEN THROUGH HEAVENS GATES YOU GO.

I KNOW IT’S BEEN A YEAR NOW
AND TIME HAS GONE SO FAST
I’D HAVE BEEN EIGHT YEARS OLD THIS MONTH
BUT FROM THIS EARTH I PASSED.

MOMMY ALWAYS LOVE ME
BUT STOP YOUR GREIVING SOON
I’M HAPPY AND I’M HEALTHY
I’M SITTING ON THE MOON.

YOU’LL SEE ME WHEN YOU LOOK UP
YOU’LL KNOW THAT I AM THERE
SO WATCH FOR SHOOTING STARS MOM
WHEN YOU LOOK UP TOWARD THE HEAVENS FAIR.
