Here's the poem in case you don't locate the complete pattern:

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell's were spoken,

No time for goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears will flow,
What is meant to me to lose you,
No one will ever know.

If Tears Could Build a Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say, "Goodbye."

You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you-
no one will ever know.
But now I know you want me
to weep for you no more;
To remember all the happy times,
life still has more in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
