No Questions Asked

No questions asked,
I’d trade places with you,
I’d give you more time,
you’d see this life through.

I’d take all the pain,
and the suffering too,
I begged every day,
please God, don’t take you.

Unanswered prayers,
dreams seem to die,
My world without you,
I wondered — who am I?

I gaze into heaven,
Stars beyond what we see,
Envision your new life,
Do you watch over me?

The signs that I pray for,
Say you’re more than okay,
They comfort, they calm,
Showing me a new way.

If I listen, I’ll hear you
A voice I’ll never forget,
When I look, I can see you,
A sweeter smile never met.

I’ll hold on, as I let go,
And I’ll cry, as I smile,
I’ll move forward with the memories,
First an inch, then – maybe – a mile.

No questions asked,
I’d trade places with you,
But sweet Jesus, he called,
and with the angels you flew.
