Gone to Eternity

Now that you're gone
I feel so empty
I should have known

The gun was held up to your head
And the tears were falling
Knowing that soon you would be dead

Mom, I watched in horror,
As dad laughed and pulled the trigger.
I knew then that I was losing my mentor.

Mom, I miss the laughs that we shared
About boys and about everything
I wish you weren't dead.

You were my best friend,
I could tell you everything
And now it's the end.

Mom, I will always love you,
You'll always be with me in my dreams
and you'll always stay true.

You're watching from Heaven,
looking at me with love...
I'll always keep you within.
