The Last Kiss
I will never, ever forget that last sweet kiss,
while holding my baby boy to my beating heart;
then, I had to let him drift up to his abyss,
I would give my own life so that he not depart.
While holding my baby boy to my beating heart,
my boy who never got to see the azure sky;
I would give my own life- so that he not depart,
asking my God why, why him, why not let me die.
My boy who never got to see the azure sky,
I would have given him all my knowledge each day;
I ask my God why, why him, why not let me die,
and now I go to his small lonely grave to pray.
I would have given him all my knowledge each day,
oh, the day he was buried, I was made of stone;
and now I go to his small lonely grave to pray,
I have no emotion- I am ice to the bone.
Oh, the day he was buried, I was made of stone,
then, I had to let him drift up to his abyss;
I have no emotion- I am ice to the bone,
but will never, ever forget that last sweet kiss.
