about

The loss of a loved one is hard. The loss of that loved one before it was really their time to go is harder. But the bravery that they show when they know it's time is extraordinary.

lyrics

Much too soon is all we could say.
So unfair to be taken from us
in this way.
A smile is all I got
when you saw my face.
And I don't think anything else
could take it's place.

Don't go away we screamed
but it's too late.
How many heroic efforts
would it take.
No amount of sacrifice
would be to great
but I know.
Somehow you'd want it to end this way.

Companionship
is only a word.
It was something in your eye
a voice not heard.
You could see right through me
up until the end.
I think it would cheapen your life
just to call you a friend.

Don't go away
we screamed
but it's too late.
How many heroic efforts
would it take.
No amount of sacrifice
would be to great
but I know.
Somehow you'd want it to end this way.

Julie,
you came into our lives
much too late.
And now we're paying the price
of wasted days.
There's no way to make up
for all the lost time.
Just know an image of you
is burned into our minds.

Don't go away
we screamed
but it's too late.
How many heroic efforts
would it take.
No amount of sacrifice
would be to great
but I know.
Somehow you'd want it to end this way.
