57 Seconds

[Verse 1]

It started with toys

On carpeted floors

And playing tag with you

Out in the grass

Oh I miss that

Then pillow fights

And bowling nights

Midnight snacks

And piggy back rides

We never seem to get tired



[Chorus]

Held your hand

All the way to the end

I sang those songs for you

To see you through

Did they see you through

It’s all your baby girl could do



[Verse 2]

Football games

Secret smoothie runs

Late late at night

Oh we knew we had too much fun

You’d whisper, “remember don’t tell Mom”

Your tired eyes

Looking back at mine

I see the pain

Through your smile

But you would always smile for me

And never let me see you hurt

But I know that it hurt

I wish I could’ve taken away

All the pain

But all I could do

For you was sing



[Chorus]

I held your hand

All the way to the end

I sang those songs for you

To see you through

Did they see you through

It’s all your baby girl could do



[Bridge]

57 seconds

I just counted hopelessly

Please let him breathe

57 seconds

I just stood there

Waiting to hear your grasp of relief



[Verse 3]

Daddy you always were

My very best friend

I held your hand

Even after the end

Oh how I’ll miss you my friend

But someone needed you more than me

I’m still your little girl

I just can’t sit on your knee

I wish you could still hold me



[Outro]

Your tired eyes looking back at mine

I swear that I saw heavens open

In their shine

As I heard, “Love you baby”

One last time
