Oh if I could see you again what joy I would feel
You left us so soon, it felt so unreal
How could a 16 year old be gone ?
Why would God cut off your beautiful song?
Tell me why cancer has to exist
It sucks life out, clings to you like a cyst
You seemed so strong, so loved
And now you are gone like a little dove
I never got the chance to see you - I never came to visit
I didn't get to say goodbye, my heart wasn't in it
I never told you how special you were
I never told you I loved being your friend - just to make sure
If you love someone let them know - tomorrow might be too late
Oh if I could see you again we would go to a dance
You would be in a dress and we'd never want it to end
You'd be healthy, the cancer gone for good
You wouldn't die , you would be here like you should
Your life so short and yet so wonderful
You affecting so many people
Now you are gone, I will not be able to listen to "Good Night" by the Black Eyed Peas without crying
Hearing that song takes me back to the last time I saw you alive
It was Homecoming Lydia - when you were better - when we thought you wouldn't die
Oh if I could see you again I would just like that
But you aren't here - I can't
I guilt myself into thinking I am a bad friend
When I have a dream and I see you again
You tell me that you are okay
That it was better this way
That butterflies always get their wings after they come out of their cocoon to live my life - love until I swoon
You left us too soon my sweet Lydia
But I will not let you down, I will shoot for the moon
And if I miss the moon I will land among the stars
For that is better than nothing - say goodbye to the scars
Oh if I could see you again - I would every day
Just so I know that you are doing okay
I will not forget the cancer that took you away
I hope they find a cure - someday
That way every child would be cured
And nothing would take them away
Oh if I could see you again - the way you were
Before cancer - that awful word
Stay strong to those that still fight
One day I pray - we get the cure right
