My Sweet Baby Cousin

Sunny days seem to hurt the most I wear the pain like a heavy coat I feel you everywhere I go I see your smile, I see your face I hear you laughin' in the rain I still can't believe you're gone It ain't fair you died too young Like a story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away And God knows how I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowin', no one could take your place Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today? Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams? Settle down with a family I wonder what would you name your babies? Some days, the sky's so blue I feel like I can talk to you And I know it might sound crazy It ain't fair you died too young Like a story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away God knows how I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowin', no one could take your place But sometimes I wonder who you'd be today? Today, today, today Today, today, today Sunny days seem to hurt the most I wear the pain like a heavy coat The only thing that gives me hope Is I know, I'll see you again someday Someday, someday
