In the moving video we see Ms. Olivia, as they lovingly call her, singing "Dancing in the sky" by Canadian twins Dani and Lizzy to Margaret Smith. The 63-year-old woman was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville because of her rapidly declining health. She had been suffering from liver cancer for about a year and doctors said she was too sick to survive a transplant.

It was Margaret’s daughter Megan who recorded and posted the video of the touching moment on her Facebook page, where it’s been viewed nearly three million times.

Megan says: “Ms Olivia, she would sing this to Margaret when ever Margaret asked her. Never would Olivia ever say ‘give me a minute’, or ‘I would but I don’t have time’. If all nurses would take the time and care for patients like Ms. Olivia I believe we would see a lot more healing!!!!! The definition of a nurse to our family would be Olivia.......”

The lyrics of the song go:

“Oh-oh, I,
I hope you’re dancing in the sky
And I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I’ll bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you arrived”

Music: "Dancing in the sky" by Dani and lizz
