Brian Lawley - I Miss You Babe [Original]

A dozen years since you passed
Who knew that day would be the last
Doctors said you'd be out in a week

Ten days later, I was left to weep

Slept by your bedside all night
Holding your hand, sending some light
Watching you slip away with each day
Hoping and praying they would find a way

I can't help but wonder
I can't help but dream
(What might have been)
I can't help but cry myself to sleep
'Cause I miss you
Babe

Went to the chapel just the other day
Never dreamed things would be this way
You looked so beautiful when you walked through that door
Oh how I wish for one day more

Taylor's almost eighteen, spitting image of you
Other kids are fine
They've made it through
That picture that you loved is still on the wall
Me, I'm getting by despite it all

But I can't help but wonder
I can't help but dream
I can't help but cry myself to sleep
'Cause I miss you
Babe

Too young to leave us, too young to die
Too many questions, an early goodbye
It's always the good ones before their time
It's always the good ones
There is no why

And I can't help but wonder
I can't help but dream
I can't help but cry myself to sleep
'Cause I miss you
Babe

(What might have been)
I miss you
(What might have been)
I miss you
Babe
(What might have been)
I miss you
(What might have been)
