It's been a year since I left your side
All the pain and tears I cannot hide
Your time here short and bittersweet
The fight you just couldn't beat
The way you smiled, the way you smelled
The way I felt like I had failed
Arms that ache, a heart that breaks
All the strength and courage it takes
Tears that stream down my face
The emptiness that was your embrace
The time that went so very fast
Left memories that will always last
What I wouldn't give to feel your touch
To have back those times I miss so much
To see you hold your little brother
To have a chance to be your mother
To hear you laugh, to watch you grow
All these things I'll never know
It's been a year since you said good-bye
You earned your wings and learned to fly
My darling daughter, your memory
will never die...
