I remember when I held you in my hands
I couldn't stop staring at you
promised I'd be gentle as I can
and I think you promised, too
you'd look like you were sleeping
if your skin wasn't so cold
even though your heart's not beating
it's you I wanna hold
can I cradle you for a little while?
if you don't mind and they don't care
i bet you'd have your mother's smile
i see you have my messy hair
i know I'm too young to be a dad
but I'd have tried my best
it wouldn't have been all that bad
i think you'd be impressed
i don't have all the answers,
i can't tell you why
i never got to say "hello"
and you never said "goodbye"
let's just stay here a little longer
i promise that a little later
i'll be a little stronger
