1. As a child, there were them times,
Em D
I didn't get it but you kept
me in line,

I didn't know why you didn't
show up some times on Sunday mornings,

and I
missed you, I'm glad we talked through.

you
never let me know it, you never let it show,

if
you were with me today face to face.

celebrate together,

I wish we could've spent the
holidays together.

Em D
with
the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight.

it's
so hard to accept the fact you're gone fore.....ver.
