She lives in the Southern skies Our baby who will never cry I held her in my arms and all my love fell into her And my heart smiled and cried at the same time. If God has a cruel streak he played it on that day To keep her for the angels to play and bring them joy She brought us joy but all too brief And now I only see her in my mind’s relief Her name is Madeleine, it’s so beautiful her name She came into our lives now we will never be the same It feels better to have known her but I want to know her more Somehow it was decided ‘You’re not having her anymore’ That’s what makes me angry why that decision was made She would have been so happy and loved but you wouldn’t let her stay I could pour my heart out forever but it won’t bring her back And this anger will it ever go? I will recover from this pain because I have to Everyday I will cry a tear, Madeleine, for you And everyday I will smile with the love That I will always hold inside for you
