Farewell

I cannot take it anymore
This feeling inside
Knowing someone I love so dear
Could be gone from my life
I look at the sad faces
Of everyone I know
Wondering where to go after a loss so great

But I can't call out
Like I did as a child
When you would come runnin'
And hold me tight
Well, I swear I'm thar child again
And I'm lost in the dark
And I'm calling your name but
You're nowhere to be found

How can this be real?
Mother, oh mother
You don't know what it's doing to me
I miss you so much it hurts
And it's only been one week

If only I could see you one more time
I'd take your face in my hands
And hold your cheek to mine
And mother I'd thank you for everything
Because you taught me so much
And I will cherish every memory

So, please know how much I love you
No matter how far
Whether beneath the ground or up among the stars
'Cause it can feel so sad when the world don't change
Though it's lost something so beautiful
And they never knew your name

How can this be real?
Mother, oh mother
You don't know what it's doing to me
I miss you so much it hurts
And I can't breathe.

Tell me it's just a dream
I'll hear your voice when I wake from this sleep
Tell me it's just a dream

This can't be real
This can't be real
This can't be real
(Tell me it's just a dream)
This can't be real
(Tell me it's just a dream)
Oh oh oh
Tell me it's just a dream
Oh oh oh
Tell me it's just a dream
Oh oh oh
Tell me it's just a dream
Oh oh oh whoa
Tell me it's just a dream
This can't be real
(Tell me it's just a dream)
This can't be real
(Tell me it's just a dream)
Nothing could hurt so bad
(Please tell it's just a dream)
