Seems Like Yesterday She Was In My Womb

Her death came too soon as she lay in a tomb, her innocence stolen at just three days old- Seems like yesterday she was in my womb. When she was born my heart was definitely sold, for she had these beautiful big brown doe eyes- Her innocence stolen at just three days old. The doctor came in and told us all lies, he said she’d heal within a few more days- For she had these beautiful big brown doe eyes. The last time I held her I was in a haze, I held her tiny hand and never wanted to let go- He said she’d heal within a few more days. I’ll never get to see her fragile body grow, I’ll never get to see her meet a boy and get married- I held her tiny hand and never wanted to let go. After her last breath, her body I carried, Her death came too soon as she lay in a tomb- I’ll never get to see her meet a boy and get married, seems like yesterday she was in my womb.
