Got the news that she passed today
She didn't struggle against the waves
The first thing that crossed my mind
Was that it wasn't her time
Nothing will ever be the same
Everything will change
There are so many things I didn't get to say
And now the darkness will never fade

I wish to go back in time
And do something to save her life
The world stopped turning today
And the sky turned grey
The rain fell as teardrops from my eyes
Because I never got to say goodbye

I thought it was a joke when they first told me
Because it was hard to believe
That night I cried myself to sleep
Just thinking of all the memories
A present on Christmas, dinner on Thanksgiving
She made life worth living
There are so many things I didn’t get to say
And now the storm clouds will never go away

I wish to go back in time
And do something to save her life
The world stopped turning today
And the sky turned grey
The rain fell as teardrops from my eyes
Because I never got to say goodbye

I’ll never understand why she had to go
Maybe she’s just a mile up the road
With her arms wide open and wearing a smile
I know I have to move on
And try to stay strong
Walk with my head held high
Imagine her at my side
There are so many things I didn’t get to say
But I know I’ll get to say them someday

I wish to go back in time
And do something to save her life
The world stopped turning today
And the sky turned grey
The rain fell as teardrops from my eyes
Because I never got to say goodbye

I wrote this after learning about my neighbor's death. She drowned while on vacation and I miss her everyday. Rest in peace Nora. I will always remember you.
