Today could've been the day
that you'd blow out your candles
make a wish as you closed your eyes
today could've been the day
everybody was laughing
instead I just sit here and cry
Who would you be
What would you look like
When you looked at me
for the very first time?
Today could've been the next day
of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by
that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
this crazy world had to lose
such a ray of light
we never knew
Gone too soon
Would you have been president
or a painter, an author
who sang like your mother
One thing is evident
would have given all I had
woul have loved you like no other
Who would you be
What would you look like
would you have my smile
and her eyes
Today could've been the next day
of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by
that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
this crazy world had to lose
such a ray of light
we never knew
Gone too soon
Not a day goes by
I'm always asking why
Not a day goes by
that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
this crazy world had to lose
such a ray of light
we never knew
Gone too soon
And not a day goes by
that I don't think of you
