Didn't have the time...

I would have read you a bedtime story
I would have sung you a lullaby
I would have told you that I loved you
I would have kissed you goodbye
But I didn't have time
You were gone way too soon
One Sunday in July

I would have cried a thousand rivers
I would have drowned in the rain
I would have fallen to my knees
I would have buckled under the pain
But I didn't have time
Your brothers were twelve and three
So I had to get on with my life

I would have died of a broken heart that night
But I didn't have time...
