All right honey we'll be back, you said

I'll lock the doors behind you, I said

Just like that you were gone.

I didn't think to tell you one last time

how much you meant to me

and that I loved you so much

Tell my mom, I love when you cook

I never eat so much anywhere else

Tell my dad, I love when you sing

everything you want to say

You were the music to my life

Mom was your muse

That all my life all I wanted

was to find someone who made me

as happy to be myself,

as I saw you make each other

I didn't need a fairy tale, because of you

making me believe in true love

that no matter what the world threw at you

your love would always go beyond those bounds

Too soon were you taken, I wanted one more hug

One more kiss on my cheek, just hold you one more time

and I would have never let you go

But I didn't, I'll lock the doors behind you, I said

All right honey we'll be back, you said

It took one minute and it was all gone

I'm sorry, please forgive me and most of all

forgive each other, none of us could have knew

That he had been hiding in the yard for you to leave

that he would come in thinking the house was empty

to find me, staring at him, not knowing how to scream

and just in few minutes, just like that they were gone.

Taken away for ever, you come to find me gone

and I sit knowing I didn't think to tell you one last time

how much you meant to me

and that I love you so much

Tell my mom, I love when you cook

Tell my dad, I love when you sing
