Hey little one

What if love could never fade?
Our stomachs always kept the butterflies we had on our first date
Then you’d have never slipped away
What’s now a cloudless empty sky would signify a brighter day
How do you know when it’s time to give in?
How do you know when it’s time?

Hey, little one
Here’s to a moment of life in a year come and gone
I’ll miss you my friend
I’ll learn to stand on my own ‘til I find love again
Here’s to good times, little one
Here’s to goodbye, little one
Here’s to the year you were my little one

Warmer weather eases pain
But you gave the coldest shoulder as you showed that seasons change
Just a year ago today
You’d brought hope for warmer winters New York City last December paved the way
How do you know when it’s time to give in?
How do you know when it’s time?

The time to overcome is well overdue
Out with the old, independently new
But I’d rather be depressed than happy without you
Oh God, please carry me through

What if this was just a dream?
When I awakened from this nightmare you were lying next to me?
Things would change if that were true
Rather than holding onto memories, I’d be holding onto you
