When I was small you were so tall You'd always be by my side Encouraging, always loving Not long to be by my side Because of you the world don't seem so bad Because of you Through thick and thin I'd see you grin Though darkness eats your insides Now memories are locked in me You'll always feel by my side Because of you the world don't seem to bad Because of you In your eyes I feel the love for ever more Understanding is the way to carry you home Now you're gone I feel the emptiness inside Understanding is the way to carry you home
