My Child Passed Away

I still see you there, in your little room
playing all by yourself, humming a lullaby.
Though you’re far away, you will always be,
deep in the soul of me, I still hear your little cry.

If there’s a place far away, still together we will be,
through the fields we will run, hand & hand in the sun.
We will laugh & we’ll sing & when the day turns to night,
I will sing you to sleep, I will kiss you goodnight.

I went in today, to you’re little room,
I looked to the place you lied, as tears filled my searching eyes.
I whispered out your name, I listened carefully,
I wanted to hear your cry, but all that I heard was mine.

If there’s a place far away, where your spirit has gone,
then I want to be there, for there is my home.
And I cannot escape, your young questioning eyes,
looking to me for help, looking to me for life
& you held out your hand & you whispered I’m scared, everything is okay,
for your daddy is here, yes your daddy is here
(My child slipped away, my child passed away,)
Still you passed away.
