The Cemetary

It's just a place to come to, so i can show my love.
I know that your not here now, you're with the lord above.
But it's all i have left now, it's where we said goodbye
i like to come and bring a flower and have a little cry.
i know it will never bring you back again, but as i walk away
I feel I've spent some time with you and it brightens up my day.
Mom i am so sorry I love you and if I could turn back time,
I'd swap our places just so you would be back on earth again.
But we'll be together in the end
So I hope you will be the one to hold the gate open for me. 
Forever in my heart
Love your youngest daughter
