Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The end of June came
And took you away
We were all cryin'
Felt like I was dyin'
[Verse 2]
Black dress and black shoe
Tied laces for you
The saddest of days
Why couldn't we save you?
Why couldn't we save you?
[Verse 3]
Inside my head
At the edge of the bed
Where somberness lay
In your children that day
[Verse 4]
As goodbyes are spent
Holdin' on to what's left
The saddest of days
Why couldn't we save you?
Why couldn't we save you?
[Verse 5]
Nothing but ashes
In the old fireplace
With all of the memories
He has erased
[Verse 6]
Heavier heels
His mourning concealed
On the saddest of days
Why couldn't we save
You?
Why couldn't we save you?
[Verse 7]
You
