im sorry i was late
will you ever be able to forgive me?
i guess i couldn�t see it coming
it all happened so extremely fast

i thought it wasn�t important
when you called me on the phone
it was so long ago since i�d seen you
it must�ve been several years ago

i got an eerie feeling
so i drove as fast as i could
and when i walked into your house
i headed straight for your room

i sat down beside your bed
you were sleeping like a child
you wore your most beautiful clothes
you had been sleeping for a while

and as you were lying there
i gently took your hand
and squeezed it harder and harder
as tears rolled down my face

you didn�t look pale, only peaceful
i sat by your side all night long
and when the morning arrived
you had started to turn cold

i couldn�t believe you left me here alone
who was going to comfort me in the future?
no one will ever sing those lovely lullabies
as beautiful as you did when i was a little girl

only a few weeks later
i put your favourite flower on your grave
and sang one of those lovely lullabies
as you were lying there
