Lyrics 57 Seconds - Evie Clair

57 Seconds

It started with toys
On carpeted floors
Playing tag with you
Out in the grass
Oh how I miss that
Then pillow fights
And bowling nights
To Midnight snacks
And piggy back rides
We never seemed to get tired
I held your hand
all the way to the end
I sang those songs for you
Just to see you through
Did they see you through?
It’s all your baby girl could do
Football games
Secret smoothie runs
Late late at night
Oh we knew we had too much fun
You’d whisper, «remember, don’t tell mom»
Your tired eyes
Looking back at mine
I could see the pain in your smile
But you would always smile for me
And never let me see you hurt
But I know that it hurt
I wish I could’ve taken away all pain
But all I could do for you was sing
I held your hand
all the way to the end
I sang those songs for you
Just to see you through
Did they see you through?
It’s all your baby girl could do
57 Seconds
I just counted hopelessly
Please let him breathe
57 Seconds
I just stood there waiting
To hear your gasp of relief
Daddy, you always were
My very best friend
I held your hand
Even after the end
Oh how I’ll miss you my friend
But someone needed you more than me
I’m still your little girl
I just can’t sit in your knee
But I wish you could still hold me
Your tired eyes
Looking back at mine
I swear that I saw heavens open
In their shine
As I heard, «Love you, baby»
One last time…
