i knew you long before i ever met you
i saw you kick and heard your heartbeat
i saw your pretty lil' profile
laughed how you had your daddy's ears
i saw you grow and watched you move
reminded me how precious life is
i was there from day one till the end
i didn't getta see the birth
but your mother was my best friend
it kills my heart to think
that all along that was you
we all took you for granted even though
we didn't know
if you'd come and stay a while
or just go
they called me to tell me about you
all i could think was this is gonna be strange
i'm finally gonna get to see your precious face
but when they called their voices were somber
and my heart felt weighted down
life just isn't right
and you taught me that now
they asked me if i was gonna be okay
i said yes but i lied
seeing you lay there broke my heart
wishing i was the one that had to die
why today did God choose to take you
i just don't understand
i feel hot tears flow down my cheeks
i hold your hand
my knees feel weak
asking if i want to hold you
and of course i do
your lil' body feels so warm
but you're not there at all
i look into your lil' face
and hold your lil' hand
i'm holding an angel
it's so hard to believe
i'm holding the angel thatz now watching over me
i lean down and kiss your cheek
and you give me a lil' breathe
they tell me itz time to let someone else hold you, but i'm just not ready
to say goodbye
i give you up but the tears i'm choking back
about to cry
i wanna scream at them and tell them you're just not ready to die
i just met you but saying hello only to say goodbye
this is one of those times when you just wanna see God and beg him for the
answer why
your mommy and daddy hold you
and i watch them cry
they take away the life support, i wish so bad to die
to take your place and give you life
i'm watching yours flutter away
the color slowing fading from your cheeks
never though have i seen such beauty
giving your mother and father a hug, with tears streaming down my face
i give you one last kiss and wish
i could've died in your place
now itz all over and done
and i'm at your wake
leaning over a casket and hearing myself say it again
i'm not ready to say goodbye yet i just met you
tears flowing free
but it comforts me to know the truth
that you were an angel long before God took you.....
