Promise

I stand there and watch you cry
and I'm confused, so i ask why ?

she said her best friend of 5 years passed away
I'm like, WHAT ?, WHEN ? she said yesterday

I'm just stunned, surprised and sad
sad because that was the best friend she ever had

no she's gone, laid to rest
now i have to take care of her, i have to do my best

my son saw mommy, he asked, what's wrong with mommy ?
then i have to lie and say, its her tummy

but she will be OK because shes a tough girl
as i said that, she says, that's why your my world

one week later, its funeral day
i stand there as they lower the casket
I'm breathless, i don't know what to say

i look over to my wife and she crying
shes like, whys everybody i love dying ?

i tell her, shes in a good place now, shes in heaven
after that, my son looks up at her and says.......
here you go mommy, you can have my lucky seven

i look at my wife and say, I'm always gonna be here for you
i promise that and i will always love you
and that's always gonna stand true
