"You'll have to come visit."
You spoke over coffee
Eyes bright and eager for me to agree
My smile was alive
So my doubt wouldn't show
"You must promise you won't forget me when you go."
But you said it'd never happen
You couldn't know how much I've prayed
That you'll try to keep your promise
The only one you ever made
"Oh, will you miss me?"
You spoke from your pillow
The laugh in your voice said you didn't think so
Glad for the dark
So my tears wouldn't show
I cry for you more than you'd possibly know
But you said we have the summer
The sunshine and the shade
And you're going to keep your promise
The only one you ever made
How can I tell you I'm home in your house
In your bed with the soft childrens' sheets?
How can I tell you that I'll be lost
Without you there to lead?
How can you expect me to stop loving you
Just because you're not here to see?
It cuts me down to pieces now
There's a piece of you in each of me
