Hands, beautiful hands
Gentle and strong
Hands that made music
Graceful and long
I still can't believe you're gone
As for me, my life goes on

A smile, a beautiful smile
That lit up the room
A smile like the sunrise
Banishing gloom
Why did you leave us so soon?
You took the sun but left the moon

A voice, a beautiful voice
Lilting and low
Sung from your spirit
Sung from your soul
Why were you so soon to go?
The kindest heart I'll ever know

Eyes, your beautiful eyes
Oceans of blue
I still remember
Their unearthly hue
Eyes that saw beauty in all that they knew
There'll never be another you

Life, a beautiful life
Lived to the full
Short, sweet
Wonderful
Now gone so long I miss you still
Thoughts of you, still beautiful

Hands, beautiful hands
Gentle and strong
Hands that made music
Graceful and long
I still can't believe you're gone
Still for me life goes on
