Please Breathe

I held you in my arms.
For the last time that night.
The good Lord took you from me.
Still I don't understand why.
I called out to you and cried.

Honey please breathe.
You know how much I love you.
What will I do for the rest of my life.
Honey please breathe.
Little Tommy needs you.
And you know that I do too.
Honey please breathe.

I still pray for you dear.
Each and every night.
Tommy says he misses you.
And you know that I do too.
I still relive that moment

Honey please breathe.
You know how much I love you.
What will I do for the rest of my life.
Honey please breathe.
Little Tommy needs you.
And you know that I do too.

Little Tommy's older now.
He's never forgotten you.
Fighting a battle of his own.
Doctor saids it won't be long.
He'll be joining you soon.

Tommy please breathe.
You know how much I love you.
What will I do for the rest of my life.
Tommy please breathe.
I know mommy needs you.
But you know that I do too.

I know I got to be strong.
But without the two of you.
I don't know what I'll do.

I'm 80 years old now.
And never stopped loving you.
It won't be long I heard them say.
That I'll be joining you.
Tell Tommy that I'll be there soon.

Yes I'll be there soon.
