Last night an autumn leaf fell upon my shoulder, and like her hand it felt so cold, it felt so lonely, I'll remember her for her smiles and her sighs, she would lead and I would follow, through the springtime of our lives, I see her ghost reflected in your face, those tender loving eyes and skin as pure as lace, now you're old enough to know just what happened, the way that nature works her miracles and wonders, just like there's good and bad in each and everyone, just like the seasons change as we revolve around the sun, so on her final night as she reached up to kiss me, I never realised that this would mean goodbye and as I left the ward she called out my name, that night she took her life to spare herself the pain.
