I'll light a candle at night
And hope the shape of your face
Starts to form in the flame

You used to be someone
I'd never thought much of
But now i look at the sky

My mothers tears
My fathers support
The hospital bed and the life support
The doctor said it was too late
Only a little time left

But i didn't cry
I held it deep inside
I thought i was a man
I wouldn't shed a tear
You were my mothers brother
The uncle i could relate to
I wish i could say to you
That you really mattered

But i didn't cry
I held it deep inside
I thought i was a man
I wouldn't shed a tear
You were my mothers brother
The uncle i could relate to
I wish i could say to you
That you really mattered
