Lost Time

I was just a child of four with not much to say But I enjoyed the times I went next door to stay You were so sick in bed and didn't feel quite well But you were strong and played with me so I could never tell You body was full of cancer you were very ill But whenever I saw you, you'd smile and I'd sit still I'd climb next to you on your bed, I wouldn't wiggle I saw the sparkle in your eyes and sometimes we would giggle I'd love to sit and dress up in your necklaces and hats Pretend I was a princess while you would just lay back I was too young to know how sick you really were You never ever let on, you let me play, a lot was just a blur As I grew I was told you loved the time we shared I wish that you were never sick and knew how much I cared.
