'DO YOU REMEMBER'
When I held you when you were frightened on dark nights.
Do you you remember when I kissed you when you so had a fright.
Do you remember when I calmed you, when you had, had a fight.
Do you remember when I helped you when you was in a plight.
Do you remember when I consoled you when you was oh so sad.
Do you remember when I cheered when you was oh so glad.
Do you remember when I wiped your tears when you felt all alone.
I know I dont owe you anything, you didnt ask to be here,
But maybe its me now who really needs a cheer.
Sometimes Ive felt alone just like you so was.
I know you've been there for me.
Maybe I need it oh so much more!
Consoling when Im sad, could I ask for more.
Calming after a fight, I try just like the rest.
Maybe you could find my good points.
Not always just my bad,
Maybe you could remember?
That I can be oh so Sad.
Maybe when you are older, sat there on your own!
You will Remember what I said!
When Im dead and gone.
