• Let me tell you a story, from long ago
    To the very first day, that I was born...
    You held me
    And told me
    That mommy wouldn't come home
    That she loved me so much, that now I'm here in this world
    You cried for the first time and swore to never let go
    Sealed it with the gentlest kiss ever known...
    You were there for me
    You gave me your word
    To be here when, I needed you the most...
    As time slowed you down, you grew sick and frail
    You cried just a second time and begged me to forgive you
    For breaking your promise
    But that at least you would tell mommy, that I've been a very good girl...
    I smiled
    Shook my head
    And let my own tears show, then said...
    "You don't have to, ask me for forgiveness
    Instead you forgive me for not knowing how to help you
    I know I'll miss you, but tell mommy I say hi
    I'm sure she's waiting for you, to be with her too
    You've done enough for me
    I've learned so much from you
    Your promise ends here, I know
    But you did break it, you just didn't know how long it was...
    I love you, I love you and I'll never forget all those precious moments..."
