Tic Toc


tic toc
the time is going
we didn't even get to go bowling
like we said
we sit on the edge of your bed
doctor said you got 5 days left
tic toc
we had so much planned for
all of you is who I stand for
theres nothing much looking up to the sky
knowing someone I love with all my heart could die
all the clouds covering up the sun
there is no brightness to look up upon
knowing god will take care of you
there is no reason to be blue
other than you're gone
I pray to you every dawn
the time you said it was most scary
nothing else scary than knowing you're leaving & I'm staying
but I'll always be here praying
you'll be in a better place now
going up to the casket we shall bow
no pain to go through
what I do will always be for you
my sadness I will not express
watch down to me as I wow success
for you is who I do it for
you'll never see me scrubbing those floors
tic toc
the time is going
tic toc
the time has gone...
