Verse

She wasD diagnosed on a AFriday,

The Gkids were almost home,

The Ekids were on their wGay back home from sDchool,

Lying face down in the Agutter,

Of uGnaccomplished dreams,

And Ebroken memorieGs of things to cDome.

"Sorry ma'am, I really Aam. I had to break the news.

I hGad to make the phone call to Etell you that you're Gdue,

You know Dwhere, I'll tell you Awhen,

And I sugGgest you start living these Enext three weeks,

The Gbest way that you can."

Chorus

DEvery night for thAree long weeks, G

She’d roam the hallways Ehalf asleeDp,

And as the fAootsteps fade away,

In my mGind, I could swear, I could swEear, I heard her say:

DGon't wait for Ame, you’ve got a lot to Ddo, you’ve got a lot to Ebe, G

And in the eAnd maybe, I'll see you there.

Verse 2

D Lost strength on a ASaturday,

GSpent the day in bed

"yEeah, I'm finGe. it's just the flu", she saDid with a smAile

But whGen they turned their backs, the tears would flEow G

She knew she only had a whDile

To live (to bAreath)

To be (to sGee)

To bleed, to sEtand G

On her own two weakened fDeet

And so I pAray everydaGy

"Don't tEake my moher awGay"-
