Goodbye - Julia Crafton

Your beautiful eyes put the stars at night to shame
And your trusting soul, I never knew you were in pain
You started forgetting, your sickness was to blame
It had no right to take your memories away

I was the little girl who didn’t realize she was losing you
Cause you had always been there when I needed you
Not anymore

Now it’s too late to say I love you
I’ll miss you every day
I had so much left to tell you 
So much left to say

Beautiful
Memories
You gave me to remember you by

And if I could
Turn back time
I’d want one more chance to say goodbye

When I was just a baby you wrote me a letter
It’s a piece of your love that I can keep with me forever
But as I read it now I have questions that need answers
But my chance to ask was then and now it’s never

Your son he came home crying and said you were gone
I was not allowed to see you they said I was to young
To understand

Now it’s too late to say I love you
I’ll miss you every day
I had so much left to tell you
So much left to say

Beautiful
Memories
You gave me to remember you by
And if I could
Turn back time
I’d want one more chance to say

Then the people came
And they’re dressed in black
Telling stories about your past
Then the ashes were gone
Buried forever
But I promise you will be remembered

Now it’s too late to say I love you
I’ll miss you every day
I had so much left to tell you
So much left to say

Beautiful
Memories
You gave me to remember you by

And if I could
Turn back time
I’d want one more chance to say

The little girl who didn’t realize she was losing you
Has finally had the chance to say goodbye

I love you Papa
