Too scared to look ahead and know 
that I probably won't see you there. 
Making memories out of every mundane thing 
'cause my heart is trying to prepare. 

And I haven't heard you say 
"Mama" in a year, 
and I know I probably won't again. 
You don't talk in conversations, 
my dear, 
but I promise that I'll always pretend 
you do. 

If time could slow down, or get caught up, 
maybe I could give you enough. 
I'll keep my eyes on you 'til they're stuck up above,  
but I know losing you is gonna be tough. 
Baby, for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do. 
If I could, I'd give all this time to you. 

Walking on your tippy-toes 
I know you're here. 
I can still see you. 
I try to keep myself composed: 
I know you're here, 
but I already miss you. 

And I don't see much of that light in 
your smile which   
made even the sun look dim. 
And I know that it's too early to say, 
but I really wish you'd stay.  

If time could slow down, or get caught up, 
maybe I could give you enough. 
I'll keep my eyes on you 'til they're stuck up above,  
but I know losing you is gonna be tough.  
Baby, for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do. 
If I could, I'd give all this time to you. 

One day, you'll leave me too soon,   
and I'll have to make a confession:  
I did all that I could,  
but my baby still beat me to Heaven. 

I'm sorry this world will fail you.  
Sorry there isn't a thing I can do. 
Sorry I'll get longer on this earth. 
If I could, I'd give all this time to you. 

If I could, I'd give all my life to you.  

'Haidyn' - 22/07/22.
For Haidyn.
