Niagra Falls fell from my eyes

Niagra falls fell from my eyes for all to see

like a dagger the words just stabbed into me

when I found out you were going to die

and that I would never get to say goodbye

it's like all of a sudden the sky wasn't painted blue anymore

it's like all of a sudden I had never felt pain before

and like a broken record it plays in my mind over again

it's not my favorite song but I can't get it out of my head



chorus

take away my posessions cause they don't mean a thing

cause they have lost the comfort that they bring

take away the rain for my tears can take it's place

cause they are just pouring and filling every space

take away everything artificial that I don't need

cause they can't mend me on the inside where I bleed



all thats left are memories and pictures I have of you

I hold them close to my heart to help me get through

I was so shocked when I heard the news, I never expected it to be this way

I fell to the floor I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say

and if I could've I would of reached out and grabbed a star from the sky

and I would've sent it to you so that you could hold it close by your side

but when I reached out all I caught was a handful of air

and then when I turned around again you weren't there

chorus



I remember the last time I talked to you on the phone like it was last night

and I remember the last time I had seen you and had held you so tight

I remember the last words I had ever spoke to you last time we talked about a month ago

I had told you I loved you so that if anything like this happened you would know

chorus



Niagra falls fell from my eyes

when I found out you were going to die

and that I would never get to say goodbye

This one really hit home, Em...this one really made me cry. It reminds me of how I felt when I found out my grandpa was dying, and how I felt when I got here only to find out I had arrived too late, that he passed away the night before...I never had a chance to say goodbye. I miss him more than anyone could ever imagine, and I know you must feel the same about your uncle. *hugs hugs* Email me, k?
