If only you could have opened your eyes,
If only we hadn't had to say our goodbyes,
If only you were still here with me now,
If only, If only, I miss you, how.
All your family, you never met,
They would have adored you, I can bet,
All this love, hugs and kisses to give,
But you've gone, not allowed to live.
Oh I wish I could hold you a few seconds more,
My heart still aches, it is still raw.
A body so fragile, skin so cold,
My beautiful daughter who will never grow old.
Life can be cruel, cruel by far,
It's taken my daughter, she's now a shining star.
So now when I look at the stars at night
I shed more tears and say "Night night."
