A million times

Your heart beat inside me
A million times
Before it stopped all of a sudden
I wonder what I did wrong

I will think of you
A million times
Wistfully in the years to come
I wonder what you would've grown to be

I will also smile
A million times
As the sorrow fades and life moves on
I wonder how the heart heals so fast

Let me say this out loud
Just this once
You gave us joy and hope for a few brief weeks
I wonder if we will ever feel complete
