Beloved

If heaven opened up its gates
Just for one day, so I can see the face
Of my beloved, the one who went away
Oh, how I tell you that you're appreciated?

My beloved, I hate that you're so far away,
My beloved, so many things I wanna say.
Ain't no love like your love,
'Cause you died before I could say I love you, my beloved.

They say the greatest love is in advance,
And I knew you love me, though we never been off the road,
I wonder what I'd do with had a change to take your place.
How I wish I could hold you and tell you face to face.

My beloved, I hate that you're so far away,
My beloved, so many things I wanna say.
Ain't no love like your love,
'Cause you died before I could say I love you, my beloved.
