REMEMBERING AALIYAH - NINE YEARS LATER

Aaliyah Dana Haughton (January 16, 1979 – August 25, 2001)

22 Doves

Twenty-two Doves carried our tears above
Twenty-two Doves now return with love

One to say that she's received her crown
One to say that she's looking down
One to say that she's flying on wings of gold
One to say that she'll never grow old
One to say that she's holding us in her arms
One to say she's protecting us from harm

One to say she's dancing all day long
One to say that she's singing all of us a song
One to say that she hears our prayers
One to say that she's everywhere
One to say that she's in the blowing wind
One to say that our hearts will mend

One to say her touch is in the falling rain
One to say she feels our pain
One to say she's in the flowers that grow
One to say that her smile is in every rainbow
One to say that she's in the stars in the sky
One to say that her soul will never die

One to say to keep her in our hearts
One to say that we'll truly never be apart
One to say don't cry now that she's gone away
One to say that we'll meet her again one day
