Life is short, but it is wide...I know

Oh, my heart!  I am a huge fan of JJ Heller, and I recently discovered a heart-wrenching, but amazing song... 

The back story to the song, and the details of the little girl lost can be found here.  And you can hear the beautiful song here.






And, here are the lyrics:

Hearts broke
When your heart stopped beating
I don't
Know if mine will ever stop bleeding

Eleven minutes...
To breathe you in
I felt the darkness
When I knew I couldn't hold you again
When I knew I couldn't hold you again

Olivianna, you're in the arms of God
Just a moment there is better than here

Life is short but it is wide
I know it's true
You touched more souls
Than most people ever do

Olivianna, you're in the arms of God
Just a moment there is better than here

You could not stay with us (echoed)
We will come to you (echoed)
You could not stay with us (echoed)
Oh oh oh oh
You're going home love
Where you belong
Oh my baby, girl
I'll see you soon

Olivianna, you're in the arms of God
Just a moment there is better than here
Olivianna, you're in the arms of God
Just a moment there is better than here
