Sometimes
Sometimes when I close my eyes I can almost hear your voice.
It whispers so soft that I don't know if it's real but I know your watching me.
Sometimes I can feel your eyes they are watching me from all sides and I can't
help but feel safe.
It doesn't matter if your not around I still know what I believe.
They can tell me all they want that your up in heaven but I know you've never left me.
Sometimes I look at your pictures in a photo album and I smile I see the brown
the brown eyes I have myself.
I wish a million fish that you could be back again, but it's the real world
and I know things don't work that way I wish sometimes it could.
It didn't hit me that you were gone until I saw you lying in that coffin.
The tears couldn't stop falling and my eyes kept burning they tried to comfort me.
They didn't understand that I needed this pain, they didn't understand that I can't
ignore this feeling.
Sometimes I can't sleep, my whole body feels weak... I wonder what I am here for and
then you remind me.
It's always been my dream to conquer the world it's seems you
were always there when I fell.
Putting your hands up so I could use them as a punching bag you wanted me to grow up
strong.
I'm still learning that I should never be afraid we all die, we all feel pain sometimes
and that's a lesson ill never forget.
It's making me tear up right now I haven't thought about this in a while but
I know I should.
Sometimes it's hard but I look up and I smile at the blue skies, at
our happiness and I know your the reason... you will always be the reason you will
always be apart of us.
Sometimes I close my eyes and I can almost hear you saying
baby don't give up i'm watching you till the end.
