21. One More Day
I feel I should have listened closer
To what you had to say.
I promise to you that I would
If I could have just one more day.
I feel I should have listened closer
To what you had to say.
I promise to you that I would
If I could have just one more day.

How hard it is without you, Mum, knowing you're not here.
You gave me life, you gave me love, you pulled me from despair.
You picked me up when I was down and held me in your arms.
I wish I were there right now to feel your loving charms.

Mommy must say her last goodbyes.
Please don't be sad, and please don't cry.
Mommy will give you the wings to fly.

A cloud, the moon, possibly the sun.
Many answers there will be.

You were always a great person

One last battle you could not fight.

And the feel of her touch and tender embrace.
