As you lay down in your bed I sit down next to you
It's hard to imagine what you've been through
I wipe a strand of hair that falls onto your face
You groan and I am filled with such grace
You look up to see who is staring
With an in drawn of breath I start out saying,
"Hello. Do you think you'll be ok? How are you feeling?"
You look at me startled and respond "I'm trying."
I decide I better go as you fall into a sleep
The doctor come in and tells me the news, because of joy, I weep
You're going home it's going to be all right
That was so long ago, so long before your life was ended by that night
The leaves fall from the tree
You vanish from my memory
As a day passes by
I can't help but wonder why
Why'd you have to go out the door and leave
Couldn't you see that car
Why didn't you look up and see
The driver came by pointing the gun at me
But you walked into the way unexpectedly
He was aiming at me and missed and he shot you, you fell down I knew you
were dying or dead
I didn't pay attention to the bullets flying by my head
As I held you in my arms a tear fell from my eye
You last words to me were "Don't cry..."
And then you died
I'm sorry to say... I cried
Months ago the doctor said you would be ok
But he was wrong your life was ended in just one day
We made it through so much but yet so little
You left and I felt so old and brittle
You died
And I was left behind
Remembering I can hardly do now
I don't know how I can go on I just don't know how
Glad to say I quit the gang
Their still on me though but they know I wont hang
Sorry to say though that it was to late to save your life
I figure it's best this way at least you don't have anymore strife
Guess it really is true what they say
You don't really know what you have until they're gone one day
Remember when you said that cancer wouldn't be the end of you
You were right but something did end you, me and my stupid mistakes, it's
true
Save a seat for me but don't be surprised if I'm not with you real soon
But there's still a couple of things I have to do
