It Happened Anyway
When Jamie died
I didn't understand
The eternity of my sadness
I wish I could have prevented it
When I rest in bed
Dream about how I could have
Lived and played with my brother
How I wish that I could have saved him
If wishing could bring him back
He'd be here with me today
But then I remember...
It happened anyway
When I look at pictures
And imagine what he would be like
Now a dozen years old
I wish could have saved him from agelessness
If crying could bring him back
He'd be here with me today
But then I remember...
It happened anyway
When I think of why and how
He was with us and he left us
I wish I could have prevented it
And stopped his death, and saved him from
Never needing breath for birthday candles...
For Birthday candles
If wishing could bring him back
He'd be here with me today
But then I remember
When Jamie died we didn't understand
Oh, but then I remember
It happened anyway
It happened anyway
It happened anyway
It happened anyway
I didn't understand
The eternity of my sadness
I wish I could have prevented it
When I rest in bed
Dream about how I could have
Lived and played with my brother
How I wish that I could have saved him
If wishing could bring him back
He'd be here with me today
But then I remember...
It happened anyway
When I look at pictures
And imagine what he would be like
Now a dozen years old
I wish could have saved him from agelessness
If crying could bring him back
He'd be here with me today
But then I remember...
It happened anyway
When I think of why and how
He was with us and he left us
I wish I could have prevented it
And stopped his death, and saved him from
Never needing breath for birthday candles...
For Birthday candles
If wishing could bring him back
He'd be here with me today
But then I remember
When Jamie died we didn't understand
Oh, but then I remember
It happened anyway
It happened anyway
It happened anyway
It happened anyway
