Song for Ellie

I'm going to put music to this and hopefully record it. I'm thinking I want it to be a capella, with me doing all the parts.

I've had a lot of dreams,
You're the one that came true.
I made a lot of mistakes,
but I forgot with one look at you.
Do you hear me when I call,
Now you're on the other side?
And although you couldn't stay,
I'm so proud that you tried.

It's hard to say goodbye to you,
it's hard to let you go,
But there's one thing I want you to know.

The other side is the best place to be,
Even though I'd rather have you with me,
You don't know pain,
You won't know fear,
I'll never see you shed a tear,
Wait for me,
Until I can be on the other side.

You're the reason that I smile,
You're the one who makes me cry.
You gave me all your strength,
So that you knew I'd get by.
And though the time was not enough,
I know I'll be alright,
Because I know you're happy and you're free,
The way you wouldn't have been in life.

It's hard to say goodbye to you,
it's hard to let you go,
But there's one thing I want you to know.

The other side is the best place to be,
Even though I'd rather have you with me,
I see your star,
Late at night,
I remember when I held you tight,
Wait for me,
Until I can be on the other side.

A stubborn little ball of strength, you gave all you had to give,
You did what you needed to, but you knew you wouldn't live.
It's hard to make a sacrifice,
But when I look at it it through your eyes,
You know you're loved, more every day,
And I'm proud of you in every way.

The other side is the best place to be,
Even though I'd rather have you with me,
My heart breaks,
When you're not there,
But keeping you just wasn't fair,
Wait for me,
Until I can be on the other side.

The other side is the only place you'll see,
And when I come over, will you recognise me?
Will you hold my hand,
Will you smile,
Say 'Hey mum, it's been a while,
I waited for you,
Until you came through to the other side'.
