Story about the bitterness one experiences at the loss of a loved one taken too soon

Lyrics

A Better Place
(Steve Giberson)

V1:
While mourning you leaving, I stood here where you were laid
I moved my lips, But the words wouldn’t come as I prayed
Till death do us part, Those where the words we had said
Now seeing you laying here, It just don’t make sense in my head
All through the service, I kept the tear from my face
But I almost lost it, When the pastor told us that you’re in a better place

Chorus:
Because a better place, was right here in my arms
A better place, was in a love that could do you no harm
I know what it says in the word
But standing over your stone, it all seems absurd
After all of the love that I gave, Don’t let them tell me you’re in a better place

V2:
The day that you left, I thought I go insane
I fell to my knees and couldn’t quit calling your name
Now I’m here in this chapel, surrounded by family and friends
My heart won’t let my mind believe this is where it all ends
The crowd fades away, and I brush the hair from your face
Watching you laying so still, I just can’t believe you’re in a better place

Outro:
After all of that sweet love I gave, don’t let them tell me you’re in a better place
