Album: Memento Mori

[verse]
You really knew how to get me stressed
You drove me crazy, made me ill
You pissed me off with your requests
Which I tried so hard to fulfill

I remember your hour-long calls
Left me angry, sad, brought me joys
Now in my room, between these walls
Nights are quiet, without a noise

[pre-chorus]
You fought hard against the cancer
Not for one year or two, but five
How? Those who knew you know the answer
Where you found the strength to survive

[chorus]
You stood strong to give your best
To your four kids, each and every day
We know you would not take a rest
Before being sure they would all be OK

You were stubborn, you were tough
But you had a heart of gold
Though your life was always rough
Till the end you stood there, bold

[instrumental]

[verse]
I think about all that we went through
And the vows you could not keep
All your dreams that won't come true
Then I break down and start to weep

You were so trusting, you were so sure
So optimistic, even naive
That you would someday achieve the cure
Till the end you didn't cease to believe

[bridge]
You did not turn thirty-seven
Was all that suffering in vain?
Did God need you there in heaven
Or just want to end your pain?

[chorus]
I believe that we'll meet again
I don't know where, I don't know when
But beyond life friendships remain
And we will have a good laugh then

You were so young, just thirty-six
The strongest woman I ever knew
But all candles one day burn their wicks
And there is nothing that we can do

[outro]
You could find me where no one else found
You brought some light to where my soul hid
You showed you cared when all around frowned
And had my back when no one else did

Miss you so much my mate, my friend
Everything has changed since you died
Bodies rest, the souls transcend
See you soon on the other side
