He smiled and said goodbye For what would be the last time I wish that I had known I would have held him for a while She turned and walked away With a laugh and a small wave I wish that I had known There was so much left to say We always think we have more time That tomorrow is always there But our history says once again We have more new pain to bear Too much to bear Daddy's watching me From a place where I can't see I wish that I had known He'd never watch what I could be What more is there to tell Families living in this hell I wish that I had known I would have caught him as he fell We wish that we had had more time But still the dawn will break And we'll stand together, in that light In the future that we make It's ours to take
The last time
