I saw the floor of heaven touch the earth
And I too was affected by its bliss
In the moments just before your death
Like a heavy satin, gold embossed,
When your soul went into Paradise
I saw the floor of heaven touch the earth
I saw no suffering Jesus on his Cross
Just a cloud of angels gold and wise
In the moments just before your death
Straight my tears fell, like a sheet of glass
As on your serene face I left a kiss
I saw the floors of heaven touch the earth
A sweet bell rang and my dear man was lost
Nothing can prepare the heart for this
In the moments just after a death
Would we love if we knew the full cost?
He has left me here and I am lost
I saw the floor of heaven touch the earth
In the moments just around his death
