Karen Taylor Good – Precious Child lyrics
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... In my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... In my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... In my heart

    I lost my grandson, xander on april 22, 2012 I wish I could take the void and heartache away from my son and his girlfriend. This song does truly express our feelings. God blessed on christmas day with his birth, now we have to endure the loss of our precious child. This is the most suitable songs for us who have lost such young children. God bless to all and always be mindful that god loans these precious children to us. They are truly ina better place now!

    My daughter was born sleeping last 5th of dec 2011. There was no sign that she's already dead inside my womb until I bled on that day. Everything happened so fast. Unexpectedly. It was so painful. When I heard this song, the lyrics were perfect. It was exactly what I want to tell my daughter. I always listen to the song. I hope she could hear it in heaven. We may be physically apart now, but I know in my heart, she will forever stay. And someday, i'll be seeing her in heaven. : ')

    I can not imagine any mother who has a child that passed away not identify with this song... Precious Child is beautiful!
    My son Jared died at the young age of 30. His truck got stuck at the base of a snow covered mountain. It was below zero with white out conditions. I don't even know the day he died but it is listed using the date his body was recovered from the mountain. He died of hypothermia February 2019.. I can only think he his gas tank ran empty and with no heat he tried to walk out. For 6 days he lay frozen on the mountain until he was found. I held my child... My Precious Child for the last time. I wish I could trade places with him... I would! I find comfort when I sing along with this song
    No parent should have to lay their child to rest and be left here in life to grieve. Unfortunately life is full of unpredictable changes so if parents are left here to grieve than let us carry our child with us to lesson our sorrow in our hearts until we are reunited with them in our heavenly fathers home.

    A CD of this song was in a memory box that the hospital's grief counselor gave me filled with pictures my Joshua and his ID bracelet, teeny blood pressure cuff, eye mask and other things a few days after he passed. He was born on 11/13/08 and lived for 6 days even though he had so many complications from being born too soon. I played it on repeat for days on end because it said everything I couldn't get past the hole in my heart. We played it at his funeral. I haven't listened to it in a long time until a recent urge struck and the memories came flooding back. There's not a day that I don't think of my son or here his name. Just today I picked up a Coke bottle that said "Share a Coke with Joshua". What I wouldn't give to do just that! The pain is the same but the days go on. Thank you for putting words to the pain.

    Hi Joy, my name is Simone and I came across one of your postings in a grief fb group. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. In case you are interested, I have created a storytelling project called Our New Lives (ournewlivesblog. Wordpress. Com) that aims to reduce the stigma associated with death, grief and recovery. I think some of the stories may provide you with some comfort. All my love to you xx.

    My son passed away on sep 23 his name is elijah the day before he passed we were able to get professional pictures donated to us through primary childrens medical center. The lady who took the pictures made a slideshow this song played throughout the slideshow. I miss my precious child but know that he is in my mind in my heart and in my dreams. I can't wait to be with him again.

    I lost my son michael on november 20, 1986, he was 19. He has been gone 25 years. I was working on the compassionate friends candle light service and found this song which I am going to use in the service. The first time I heard it I cried. So many memories of the feelings and the pain I felt at that time. There will always be a hole in my heart and a hole in our family. Thank you karen, for your beautiful song. It is a treasure and a gift to grieving families.
