[Chorus]
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road straight up ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tires the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last
[Chorus]
WHen I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Somethign warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew i have missed
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love my life that night
[Chorus]
Woh (x4)
Ohh (x4)
Chapter 1
[Chorus]
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

Gordo sat in the church. Half of Hilldridge High was there and crying. But there was only one thing only he knew ,It was his fault, if he had never asked her out then she wouldn't be gone. If he never loved her she wouldn't be gone. He started thinking. His mother told him he would see her again one day soon but how soon? He tried to not let his loss make him want to end his life but questions haunted him. In the future what if he did something to change his destany to see her again? What If he goes crazy or worse...forgets her.
Sitting there he rembered when he, Lizzie and Miranda baby sat Matt and her father was mistaken for a burglar.Memories flooded back from last night. At the Mortuary he couldn't look at her. He thought if he didn't look it wouldn't be so final and maybe he would wake up one day with her back and he would talk to her again. The preacher stood at the front and an errie hush fell over the large crowd.
"We are all gathered her in memory of the beatifull young angel," Gordo smiled knowing that she would have liked that. "Now if you would please bow your heads." He said. Gordo tilted his head down and thought.
Dear lord, I know you took my baby away but please take care of her. Help her watch her family. Please, please don't let her be mad at me or forget me.
"Amen." Echoed and whispered around the church.
"Mr.Diggs please come up." The preacher walked to the side. Mr.Diggs walked to the front and picked up a microphone.
"We don't know when our time comes or where to go after it. Some may believe in heaven, some may not but I know one thing. She was the sweetest, brightest, angel I have ever met and I think we were all lucky to be blessed with the time we had with her. Thank you." He stepped down.
"Next we have a special song her parents picked for her." The preacher said turning to a member of the choir. The piano began and she sang:
When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep.....
Gordo looked over at the McGuire's who we all in tears. Then he looked at the Sanchez's who looked just as bad. When the song was over the preacher called up Larry Tudgeman.
"We may not have been best friends but she was really a good person. Every one labeled me as strange and a geek but she never really made fun of me or put me down on purpose." He stopped and broke down. Gordo watched Mr. Diggs helped him off the stage and then he looked at the casket. It was closed and there were all sorts of flowers around it. Roses, giant sunflowers, ferns, and other exotic plants filled the air with a fragrance.
"Kate Sanders..." The preacher called. Kate walked up and for the first time Gordo saw her with out make up. She wore a black skirt and shirt. Gordo waited to hear sarcastic words come out but to his surprise they weren't sarcastic.
"If you had told me a week ago that she would be gone I would say your joking. I think before this none-of us really thought about death or dying but now there is no escape. Every day is fresh start and you should live it like its your last to the fullest extent." She wiped the tears and went to sit down.
Then it happened.
He remembered that night....
Oh where oh where can my baby be
