Ruby-Faith my angel

You know I had our Ruby-Faith She was sweet and pretty and pure


We lost her oh so close to life It cut us to the core

I won’t talk to you of milestones Or of how her life has been

‘Cause we lost her on her first day hereSo though we love her she can’t be seen

She’s up on high among the stars She’s waiting for us there

She’s watching down with eyes that shineShe’s a baby that just can’t be here

I won’t brag to you of first teeth Or of walking, or of talk

But I’ll tell you that we loved herAnd I’ll trust you know it hurts

I won’t ring you up on Sunday And tell you this week she said “Dad”

I won’t laugh with you when she toddlesI’ll just say missing this stuff is sad

I won’t wish she’d learn to eat Without spreading lunch across her face

Or enjoy her splashing in the bath‘Cause she’s a baby in a special place

I won’t tell you of her favourite toy Or how she likes to play

Or how she says she’s met a boy And moons over him all day

I won’t tell you how she fell in love Or tell you of her plans

Or tell you that she’ll soon be wedI’ll miss seeing her wedding band

I lost my baby early And she passed away too fastI cry of it almost daily

I have only memories to make her lastBut I imagine telling you all

That I’d wished for something moreI hope you’ll understand my need

To remember her once moreThink of these words when I’m chatting

Talk of Ruby-Faith whenever you pleaseKnowing that you remember her also

Will help keep my mind at easeSo if I tell you of herIt’s only so you know

That it’s all I’ve got for my babyAnd that she’s in my heart ‘till I go
