Oh if I could see you again

Oh if I could see you again what joy I would feel You left us so soon, it felt so unreal How could a 16 year old be gone ? Why would God cut off your beautiful song? Tell me why cancer has to exist It sucks life out, clings to you like a cyst You seemed so strong, so loved And now you are gone like a little dove I never got the chance to see you - I never came to visit I didn't get to say goodbye, my heart wasn't in it I never told you how special you were I never told you I loved being your friend - just to make sure If you love someone let them know - tomorrow might be too late Oh if I could see you again we would go to a dance You would be in a dress and we'd never want it to end You'd be healthy, the cancer gone for good You wouldn't die , you would be here like you should Your life so short and yet so wonderful You affecting so many people Now you are gone, I will not be able to listen to "Good Night" by the Black Eyed Peas without crying Hearing that song takes me back to the last time I saw you alive It was Homecoming Lydia - when you were better - when we thought you wouldn't die Oh if I could see you again I would just like that But you aren't here - I can't I guilt myself into thinking I am a bad friend When I have a dream and I see you again You tell me that you are okay That it was better this way That butterflies always get their wings after they come out of their cocoon to live my life - love until I swoon You left us too soon my sweet Lydia But I will not let you down, I will shoot for the moon And if I miss the moon I will land among the stars For that is better than nothing - say goodbye to the scars Oh if I could see you again - I would every day Just so I know that you are doing okay I will not forget the cancer that took you away I hope they find a cure - someday That way every child would be cured And nothing would take them away Oh if I could see you again - the way you were Before cancer - that awful word Stay strong to those that still fight One day I pray - we get the cure right
