Tonight I will Cry

You took that normal night
And with one simple phone call
You turn it in to a nightmare
As I watch daddies face fall

Gripping the receiver
He holds on really tight
Not really willing
To let you give up the fight

So he was going to do what he could
Visit you the next day
But the nurses had suggested
That Tanner and I should stay

You weren't what we'd remember
Soul gone with yellow skin
Is that what you wanted?
Because then I guess you win

We were given a chance to talk to you
But you could barely speak
I Love You was all you could muster
Your body had grown so weak

I cried for you that night
As I made you a get better card
And to this day I don't understand
How your life had become so hard

Why couldn't you put the glass down
Why couldn't you stay in my life
Be the mother I want you to be
And remain daddies wife

You tore our house apart
And we worked so hard to put it back
Turned this place into a home
But it was you it would always lack
