I wake up in the mornings laying next to you,
But quickly I realize that none of it is true.
Birds on the branches, sing since first light,
And they make me realize, for you that I must fight.
You only live once, that's what they all say,
But if you we're never here, I'd die a thousand times a day.
The day you said yes, when I asked you to be mine, that was the day, the sun had the brightest shine.
Years since had passed, and our children run around, but one thing is missing, your laughters sound.
It all went so quick, in front of me you stood,
Why you and not me, I never understood.
The battle was hard, and you fought with your best, and when all is said and done, you finally took your rest.
I cannot blame you for leaving us so soon, but the birds in the morning now sing a different tune.
I wake up in the mornings laying all alone, but I know that to Heaven, like a bird you have flown.
