Story Behind The Song

Letting go of the ones you love when faced with terminal illness

Song Description

Man is dying of cancer and asks his little girl to remember all the good times they had together until he sees her in heaven again. Won't get to see her grow up.

Lyrics

Gonna miss that cute little smile
And the braid in your hair
That bright yellow dress
And the perfume that you would wear

Walkin' hand and hand
Down by Johnson's Creek
Rollin' in the grass
and those little kisses on the cheek

You don't know how much I love you
And I wish upon the stars above you
That this day would never come to be
When I'd have to leave

Didn't know who I was
Or what I was gonna do
But, that all changed for me
On the day that I met you

Now all I do is think about you Don't know what I'll do without you
I hoped this day would never come for me
When I'd have to leave

You don't know how much I love you
And I'll be waitin' there above you
Until that day when you're up there with me...

You know I gotta go
But I don't wanna leave
But please would you do
One last thing for me?

Keep US in your memory
