She was barely hanging on
The love of family kept her strong
She was trying to survive
Trail of death it arrived
Two kids, a husband and a dog
A minimum wage, rough enough
They had fun and did alright
They had each other and loved life
You don't know that life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until its gone
Then somewhere around Christmas
Santa brought his gifts but no one noticed
Cause the dark days where just right
Before the news, it had arrived
They found a little lump inside her breast
Never saw a smaller one is what they said
A day of hospital then moved on
Your young at heart, and nothing's wrong
Flowers grew and one year passed
Santa's time was here again
Once again the doctor called
There's nothing we can do, that's all
You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until it's gone
You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what until it's gone
Then a perfect day in August
She spread the wings and then took off
They laid her body down to rest
Next to her father where she lies best
You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what, until its gone
You don't know what life brings
You don't know what it brings
You don't know what, until its gone
