You said that you had cancer, You told me you would die.
I couldn’t quite believe it but you looked me in the eye.
I thought you’d stay forever, I thought my kids would meet you
You told me you were leaving, there was nothing you could do
I watched you quickly crumble, you turned into a wreck
My strong mentor gave up, with this noose around her neck
I can’t lose my granny, God knows she drives me round the bend,
They said you had a full year yet and you’d see it to its end
We both knew you wouldn’t though, we knew you’d given in,
Who could blame you for it, no reason to bear and grin.
Walking home a few weeks later and I began to cry
I knew I had to tell you I loved you and say my last goodbye
I knew that you were leaving that night, something told me so
I fell to my knees and pleaded with god, please don’t let her go
I knew that it was a selfish want, and I knew you were in pain
But each extra day I spent with you was such a massive gain
Granda came to meet you that night, I felt his touch in there
He had came to guide his one true love to heaven through the air
He lifted you gently in his arms and carried you away
I looked up at the bright white light, “see you another day”
