For Johnny (June 20th 1991 – August 16th 1992)
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Never in a million years
So many things left unlearned
But darkness came and took you
…took you all away
…too little …too soon
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Never in a million years
So many things left unsaid
I’m alone in the night
Darkness fills my soul
Hiding my feelings
Out of everyone’s sight
Despair fills my soul
Which as a fact is quite strange
Cause inside feels empty
The sadness and confusion
Like a lost little boy
I feel like an oyster
Without its precious pearl
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Never in a million years
So many things left undone
And then like magic…
Like you were speaking to us…
Telling us to be OK
You sent us a gift
…most precious gift
It felt like you were here
Living with us… through him
Giving us strength
To live life and not “just be”
I’ll never forget
And I’ll always miss you
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Never in a million years
But we’ll meet again
This just has to be true
