Can I light a candle

Can I light a candle for my little one today
If I wish on a star
Will I be carried far away

Is she sleeping in her bed
Or is she calling my name
My life and her life will never be the same

Can I talk to an angel with wings of pure gold
Will they tell me how my little one is
For I have never been told

I cry so many tears
I cannot count them all
My little one is so tiny, so very very small

Can I blow her a kiss on a gentle breeze
Can I send my love to her on such days as these
Can I light a candle in my hour of need
I want my child, God give her back to me
