Pretty skies and white lies, tea stained teeth and black eyes
We watched you fade away
Smiling brave until your final day
You gave love to every one you met
And gave and gave to never take
Nails painted red
Sat so still in that hospital bed
We grow old and fade away
We go grey and lose our days
But I'll try not to lose my way
For you, no not today
It was hard for me living so far away
And when I got the call to say
You were in your final days
I wanted nothing more than to be right by your side
But the train timetables let me down
And the next day you died
We grow old and fade away
We go grey and lose our days
But I'll try not to lose my way
For you, no not today
I'll miss you on my wedding day
And tell dad I wish that he were here
To give me away
I'll miss you on my wedding day
And tell dad I wish he were here to give me away
But life must go on despite this pain
You taught me that, to dance in the rain
