LILY ROSE
Raising my head, late afternoon
Look straight in the sun
Don't know what to do
with you
Saw you growing up, your legs getting longer
Saw your eagerness, your unstopable hunger
For news, for life
You got richer and richer
Smarter and smarter
Found out there was a whole world to discover
Before you would slowly weaken
So you unfolded yourself
Gave everything you got
Showed to me the colour of your heart
You felt like you were Queen of the sky
But as you got older and wiser
You suddenly started to cry
After a beautiful life, you knew
You were going to die
All of a sudden you couldn't see the sky
Forgot all about colour and I
Could see the pain in your eyes
How much i will miss you
I know i had kissed you
If it would have been in your aid
But unfortunately I was too late
On the garden bench, outside in the sun
I think about things that I should have done
And you are lying there, next to me
So close
My beatiful darling, LILY ROSE
