What You Used To Say and Do

Bumps and bruises you would kiss My fears you sent away When you tucked me in at night Often beside me, you would lay When someone broke my heart "Their loss," you would say My tears you wiped away Someday I won't be here You would often say I would quickly dismiss it Roll my eyes And walk away Then one day the doctors words I'm sorry There is nothing else we can do We will keep her comfortable The rest is up to you I kissed your bumps and bruises And tried to ease your pain I asked you not to leave me Please don't go away But it was not your choice to make You said you did not want to leave me But I would never be alone Now our time together Has come and gone away Much to my dismay And all I have is memories Of what you used to do and say.....
