When Jamie died
And I didn`t even understand
The eternity of my sadness
I wish I could have prevented it
When I rest in bed
Dream about how I could have
Lived and played with my brother
How I wish that I could have saved him
If wishing could bring him back
He`d be here with me today
But then I remember...
It happened anyway
When I look at pictures
And imagine what he would be like
Now a dozen years old
I wish could have saved him from agelessness
If crying could bring him back
He`d be here with me today
But then I remember...
It happened anyway
When I think of why and how
He was with us and left us
I wish I could have prevented it
And stopped his death, and saved him from
Never needing breath for birthday candles...
For Birthday candles
If wishing could bring him back
He`d be here with me today
But then I remember
When Jamie died I didn`t understand
Oh, but then I remember
It happened anyway
It happened anyway
