Intro-    

            
I held your ancient hand
            
I flashed a toothy grin
         
And I’ve never cried
       
Like I saw you cry
         
When you told me
         
That you knew you’d die
       
If you went outside
                                  
And it was colder than sixty five.
                       
And I’m just happy I can fill your life
                         
Fill this cluttered house
             
With laughter again.
            
It’s been a long long time
                    
Since your daughter died
        
And I’m sorry
             
I dreamed of suicide
                 
It wasn’t right.
  
I know it makes you sad
                 
To think you may never see

Summer again
            
And I would like to say

                  
There is a better place
      
After this life.
                                  
Well I’m sorry, we only get one try.
