I'll stand here and listen Just a little while To the world waking up With a heartbroken smile

It's not that you left me You had no choice I've lost you now That it stole your voice

Imagine planning it all Your final sendoff While you waited for angels To bear you aloft

Imagine being young And told you must die That one word... cancer You ask yourself why

Why someone so young? So kind and true? Out of all the people on this earth Why did it have to be you?

When that phone call came And the tears started flowing You became more than an angel You were the one glowing

We all came with respect For the sweetest boy I knew At your special request In purples and blues

I never heard you complain Had never seen you cry You must have locked it all away Bottled it up inside

I've never seen bravery Or strength like you had Before or after you'd gone But I'm glad

That your future is clear now Pain free and sweet I'll miss you a long while Until one day we'll meet.
