How about Good Old Girl from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas:

Sheriff Dodd:
Well, she's a good, old, girl
We've been some long, long, miles together
And thank the lord
she never was the clinging kind

But she's a good, old, girl
We've had some fine, big laughs together
And I admired the way
She almost read my mind

Never talked no foolish talk
Had no ties and held no rules
Hell that good, old, girl and me
We ain't damn fools you know

We never talked too much
We didn't hold to conversation
There's lots of things
I could've told her I suppose

But what I would want to tell
That Good old girl
She knows....

Cowboys:
Well, she's a good, old, girl
We've been some long, long miles together
And thank the lord
she never was the clinging kind

Never talked no foolish talk
Had no ties and held no rules
No that good, old, girl and me
We ain't damn fools, you know

We never talked too much
We didn't hold to conversation
There's lots of things
I could have told her
I supposed

Sheriff Dodd:
But what I would want to tell
That good, old, girl
She knows.

And if you're going to use a song from Spring Awakening, use Those You've Known, don't use Left Behind.

I completely agree with 'Anytime (I Am There)' Elegies: A Song Cycle or 'Flying Home' from Songs for a New World. My condolences go out to you and all who are grieving.
