[U1]

I didn't know the music you listened to,
Or what was your favorite food,
Or what movie made you blue,
I'd no idea what was your biggest fear,
Or the words that made you heal,
Or what made you disappear.

You're the little sister,
You're everyone's daughter,
You're the troubled teenager that needed to feel freer.
You wanted to get high,
Just a little higher,
If I believed in the sky,
I'd say that it's now much brighter.

You never knew the love I have for you,
The pain you put us through
When you went off for good.
You've lived your life so fast,
So little sand in the hourglass,
I can't talk about you in the past.

I never felt this way for someone I never met
And never will I forget that there was more love that I kept.
You made me realize that youth often dies when it tries to spread its wings and finally flies.

I wish this didn't end, I wish you'd understand the grief you left us in,
I wish I were your friend, I wish I held your hand like I do with my own kids.
