The days of yesterday are approaching fast
Filling my heart with pains from the past
It has been a long and very hard year
Many a night I would wish you were here
As I sit outside and stare at the tree
The memory returns that forever haunts me
So vivid a sight is forever etched in my mind
Unknowing of the lifeless son I would soon find
Nothing I knew would prepare me that day
For what I would find and the words I would say
I thought it was a joke and didn't realize
It was my son hanging dead before my own eyes
Days and nights turn into weeks
Tears still fresh run down my cheeks
Weeks become months how do I survive
When you are dead and I am alive
A year is just around the bend
My heart still aches it will never mend
As the days of yesterday are almost here
When they arrive it will be a year
A year has come and went on by
All I do now is gaze up to the sky
Forever in my heart you will always be
Till the end of the world and eternity
