It seems like only yesterday

we were the perfect family

I didn't realise how serious it was

Til i was told

you weren't coming home

gradually i saw a change

sometimes you even forgot my name

I wish you could hold me one more time

tell me everything's gonna be alright

I guess I never saw the signs

and before i blinked twice

you left my side

I try to remember how you were

you couldn't speak a word

so many things i wish i could have heard

so now im sitting here wishing

that i could walk into pictures

and take away the illness that you were feeling

I wish you could hold me one more time

tell me everything's gonna be alright

I guess I never saw the signs

and before i blinked twice

you left

All i can do now

is watch that video of us together

what hurts me the most

is that i never really got to know you

like i shoulda been able to

I wish you could hold me one more time

tell me everythings gonna be alright

i guess i never saw the signs

and before i blinked twice

now it's been two years since you were gone

and i'm trying to be strong

i wish i had a second chance

to hold your hand

the greatest mother on this land
