Hey Little One

What if love could never fade? Our stomachs always kept the butterflies we had on our first date Then you'd have never slipped away What's now a cloudless empty sky would signify a brighter day How do you know when it's time to give in? How do you know when it's time? Hey, little one Here's to a moment of life in a year come and gone I'll miss you my friend I'll learn to stand on my own 'til I find love again Here's to good times, little one Here's to goodbye, little one Here's to the year you were my little one Warmer weather eases pain But you gave the coldest shoulder as you showed that seasons change Just a year ago today You'd brought hope for warmer winters; New York City last December paved the way How do you know when it's time to give in? How do you know when it's time? The time to overcome is well overdue Out with the old, independently new But I'd rather be depressed than happy without you Oh God, please carry me through What if this was just a dream? When I awakened from this nightmare you were lying next to me? Things would change if that were true Rather than holding onto memories, I'd be holding onto you
