Once upon a time
my days were filled with you
but now its only rain that falls
and sky's are never blue

With misery for company
despair my closest friend
I'll never understand
why he chose your life to end

I struggle to find sense in it
each and every day
But I see no higher purpose served
in taking you away

You were my one and only child
the one good thing in my life
that somehow survived the car crash
that claimed my pregnant wife

You were so much like your mother
the way you looked the things you did
Even Frank and Betty said
she was like you as a kid

So now you are together
you finally get to meet
Tell her I miss her dancing
even with her two left feet

She'll read to you at bedtime
just like daddy used to do
especially your favourite
about the woman in the shoe

Daddy's got to go now
got a meeting to attend
If you do see mommy
tell her my love I send
.

Hello everyone my name is Bill,
and I'm an alcoholic
I never saw I had a problem
til it became so chronic

Three years ago my wife was killed
she was pregnant when she died.
But my little baby girl was born
right there at the roadside.

The paramedics saved her
but they couldn't save my wife
I was drunk at home oblivious
busy ******* away my life

Then a month ago my daughter died
in that crash on I-71

It was my fault,

I was driving drunk,

God forgive me for what I've done.
