Darlin' Kate

So it's finally come, you have left this world
 But we'll miss our Kate, our darling girl
 We held your head, kissed your lovely brow
 And bid farewell, you're sailing now
 Free from the pain, you lay that burden down
 But you're strong and giving heart
 Would surely be your crown
 As you slip the surly bonds of earth and sailed way
 Perhaps we will meet again somehow, someday
 Until then, there's nothing we can do but wait
 To see once more our darling Kate
 ♪
 All those nights we sang, talked 'til the sun come up
 You fed our souls, you filled our cup
 With your perfect words and all that voice
 We fell in love, we had no choice
 And I can't say for sure where you have gone
 But in that place, I'm betting there's a better song
 We've all known down here, taste of joy and strife
 You were the sweetest note in the chord of life
 Now you slipped the surly bonds of earth and sailed way
 Perhaps we will meet again somehow, someday
 But if there was one name I could consecrate
 It would be yours, it would be Kate
