Kami semua menyukai gadis kami yang jujur
From her eyes the light of Heaven shone thru
Dari matanya cahaya Langit bersinar melalui
She fell sick one cold winter morning
Dia jatuh sakit pada suatu pagi di musim dingin
And there was nothing we could do
Dan tidak ada yang bisa kami lakukan
She lay on her death bed so bravely
Dia berbaring di ranjang kematiannya dengan sangat berani
Her face all tired and worn
Wajahnya lelah dan letih
We knew in our hearts she was leaving
Kami tahu di dalam hati kami dia akan pergi
God had called her to His heavenly home
Tuhan telah memanggilnya ke rumah surgawi-Nya
As she lay on the bed she was smiling
Saat berbaring di ranjang dia tersenyum
At the people all gathered a-round
Di semua orang berkumpul
It was her only way of saying goodbye
Itulah satu-satunya cara untuk mengucapkan selamat tinggal
And tomorrow she'd lay neath the ground
Dan besok dia berbaring di tanah
The fragrance of flowers from her grave
Aroma bunga dari kuburnya
Goes to heaven where she has gone too
Pergi ke surga dimana dia juga pergi
Mortal pain shown on all our faces
Rasa sakit di wajah kami tampak nyata
But there was nothing we could do
Tapi tidak ada yang bisa kami lakukan
When the preacher began to console us
Saat pengkhotbah mulai menghibur kita
His words rang out clear and true
Kata-katanya terdengar jelas dan benar
He said God called her that's the reason
Dia bilang Tuhan memanggilnya itu alasannya
That there was nothing we could do
Tidak ada yang bisa kami lakukan
