From Last Night
Don't you laugh at me...
Small feet, small hands, small face
Resting his small body on grace
Can't move well,
Can't sleep well,
Doesn't eat well
Or breathe well,
Just kind of sits there holding on,
Hoping in a minute he won't be gone.
Little boy, so young and so needed.
Too bad his spirit seems defeated.
Can't move now,
Can't sleep now,
Doesn't eat now
Or breathe now,
Just kind of sits there holding on,
Hoping that he can keep holding on.
Early, oh Early...
For the end given to you, I'm sorry.
I should have been there, no matter what it cost me,
But I let you slip away.
Early, oh Early...
He loved you too much to let go,
Much more than anyone could know,
Told you more than he would say.
Early, why'd you leave this way?
He held you close in his warm hands
Trying hard just to understand
Why this now,
Why you now,
Doesn't know now
What to do or how,
But he holds you close and cries
As you slip away right before his eyes.
He doesn't understand why this tears him apart,
Doesn't understand how this can break his heart,
That you don't move well,
You don't sleep well,
Don't eat well
Or breathe well.
You just kind of sit there holding on,
And he wonders why you keep holding on...
Early, oh Early...
For the end given to you, I'm sorry.
I should have been there, no matter what it cost me,
But I let you slip away.
Early, oh Early...
He loved you too much to let go,
Much more than anyone could know,
Told you more than he would say.
Early, why'd you leave this way?
I couldn't bare
To sit in my chair
While he talked of you drifting away.
I almost cried
When he said you'd die,
Wishing you'd just be on your way,
Wanting you to go and not be in pain,
No matter how much he wished you'd stay.
Early, oh Early...
For the end given to you, I'm sorry.
I should have been there, no matter what it cost me,
But I let you slip away.
Early, oh Early...
He loved you too much to let go,
Much more than anyone could know,
Told you more than he would say.
Early, why'd you leave this way?
"Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
Sorry... :'(
