lyrics

Verse 1

Woke up a 15 year old, outside its cold but there's no one to hold her tight,
but her lonely dad, oh the pain he's had cos' his wife has gone and died,
oh they're scared and alone can't pick up the phone and face the truth,
only yesterday, they were all okay and under one roof

chorus

We may not be able to look them in the eyes,
And we may look at pictures, and wonder why,
why is it that life's so short when it seems so hard,
why is it the ones we love always do us part,
but a memory kept is a memory made
and a memory made is one thats replayed,
there's always gunna be a piece of your heart that longs to be heard

verse 2

growing up must have been hard without that card from the one she loved,
each year another tear as she looked up above,
some days just got so hard she felt like giving up,
walking down the aisle and her first child, without her mum,
but for her family's sake she refused to make her eyes shed its tears,
but away from it all looks at her last call, after all these years,

chorus

We may not be able to look them in the eyes,
And we may look at pictures, and wonder why,
why is it that life's so short when it seems so hard,
why is it the ones we love always do us part,
but a memory kept is a memory made
and a memory made is one thats replayed,
there's always gunna be a piece of your heart that longs to be heard

Middle Eight

The angels told me, that only the good die young,
and the ones we loved are shining with the sun,
someday when its all over you'll find your way,
but until that time, live for today.

chorus

We may not be able to look them in the eyes,
And we may look at pictures, and wonder why,
why is it that life's so short when it seems so hard,
why is it the ones we love always do us part,
but a memory kept is a memory made
and a memory made is one thats replayed,
there's always gunna be a piece of your heart that longs to be heard

Outro

The stars will always shine on you
And if you smile back then that makes two x3
