11 years
It's been 11 years since I saw you
11 years since that fateful day
11 years since we've spoken
11 years since you've gone away
I was only 8 years old
I didn't fully understand
I never went to your funeral
I couldn't see you under sand
The reason that I didn't go
Is why I haven't been today
I always want my final memory
To be of us at play
11 years have come and gone
And not a single day goes by
That I don't sit here and wonder
Why did you have to die?
11 years since that fateful day
11 years since we've spoken
11 years since you've gone away
I was only 8 years old
I didn't fully understand
I never went to your funeral
I couldn't see you under sand
The reason that I didn't go
Is why I haven't been today
I always want my final memory
To be of us at play
11 years have come and gone
And not a single day goes by
That I don't sit here and wonder
Why did you have to die?
