Dear friends are saying good-bye (officially) to their baby girl today.  I can’t be there with them, but I had to put some love out in the universe to help buoy them as they remember, hug, sing and speak of their love today.

When I first heard this song, it reminded me instantly of them and their sweet little one:

“Beautiful Goodbye” By Josh Kelley

It’s hard to say goodbye
When I’m holding out my hands
Holding out my hands for love
That opened my eyes
Filled with tears that never dry
For you the angels cry

Goodnight, goodnight, my sweet love you’re
Beautiful
Goodnight, goodnight, the stars up above
Will be bright
Despite a love bound and broken from the start
Goodnight, my beautiful goodbye

It’s hard to comprehend
Our beginning is the end
Of a love that never had
A chance to dance with you
So I choose to take this pain
And wish for more to say than

Goodnight, goodnight, my sweet love you’re
Beautiful
Goodnight, goodnight, the stars up above
Will be bright
Despite a love bound and broken from
The start
Goodnight, my beautiful goodbye

Oh sweet angel of mine
Gone to sail through the night
In my heart you’ll always be
I hope that you’ll remember me wherever you are

Goodnight, goodnight, my sweet love you’re
Beautiful
Goodnight, goodnight, stare up above will
Be bright
Despite a love bound and broken from the start
Goodbye, Goodnight
Oh, Goodnight, goodnight, my sweet love
You’re beautiful
Goodnight, goodnight, the stars up above
Will be bright
Despite a love bound and broken from the start
Goodnight, my beautiful goodbye
