"September Gray"


1. I'll always remember, every second of that day


When the angels came from heaven, and carried you away


They came down without warning, and we had no time to pray


The day the angels came from heaven, and turned September gray


2. You were much too young, to be taken on that day


But the good lord had his reasons, or at least that's what they say


If we could have been there, we'd have begged you to stay


The day the angels came from heaven, and turned September gray


3. You know we held your funeral, on your grandma's birthday


On the last days of September, we laid you in your grave


Now every time the wind blows, it whispers your name


And reminds me of the angels, that turned September to gray


4. Sometimes when I'm lonely, I remember your smiling face


And it takes me back to yesterday, and to a better place


You know we'll always miss you, until that final day


When the angels come heaven, and carry us a-way.
