Hey Little One

What if love could never fade?

Our stomachs always kept the butterflies we had on our first date

Then you’d have never slipped away

What’s now a cloudless empty sky would signify a brighter day

How do you know when it’s time to give in?

How do you know when it’s time?

Hey, little one

Here’s to a moment of life in a year come and gone

I’ll miss you my friend

I’ll learn to stand on my own ‘til I find love again

Here’s to good times, little one

Here’s to goodbye, little one

Here’s to the year you were my little one

Warmer weather eases pain

But you gave the coldest shoulder as you showed that seasons change

Just a year ago today

You’d brought hope for warmer winters; New York City last December paved the way

How do you know when it’s time to give in?

How do you know when it’s time?

The time to overcome is well overdue

Out with the old, independently new

But I’d rather be depressed than happy without you

Oh God, please carry me through

What if this was just a dream?

When I awakened from this nightmare you were lying next to me?

Things would change if that were true

Rather than holding onto memories, I’d be holding onto you
