The Last Call

Too busy to chat
Too busy to call
Too busy to wait
It should be no trouble at all

Don't ever hang up
Don't ever be late
Don't waste time
For something that can wait

Remember to say I love you
Remember to say I care
Remember to say I'm sorry
If not then please prepare

For one day I was too harsh
In too much of a hurry
People to say goodbye to
With Christmas present worry

I'm sorry mum I was too busy
I'm sorry mum I couldn't wait
I'm sorry mum I never told you
Because now it is too late

For three days later on Christmas Eve
I was told that you were no more
You were found all alone, holding dads picture
Behind your bedroom door

To say I love you
Only takes a minute.... yet
I never made the time for you
It will always be my biggest regret
