crying


LYRICS:
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man, from even that moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you

Chorus:
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember the drive home when the blind hope
Turned to crying and screaming, "Why?"
Flowers piled up in the worst way
No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died

And it's about to be Halloween
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day when I kissed your face
I whispered in your ear

Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room in this hospital
We'll just disappear
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you

Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years

I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back

oh goodness, have you heard of the news of the poor boy that Taylor based the song on?
God bless her, Ronan, and his family. heart

what news?

the boy, Ronan, had cancer and died at four, and so Taylor wrote a song about him.

ya, I heard surprised I know the story behind this song sad that is why I felt it was so tragic

The lyrics are sad... but knowing the story behind them it makes me go emotion_eyebrow mad
My little brother had cancer when he was 8 (I was 10 and he's healty now) and at the hospital (where I spent all my days at after school and on the weekends) I saw so many children in so much pain with so many different types of cancer. Babies, toddlers all the way up to teenagers dying or fighting for their lifes.
What makes this story so uniqe among all the others? Just because he was 4? emotion_eyebrow
I'm not saying that it isn't a tragedy because IT IS! But I can't stand hearing about one child having it worse than another who fought and lost or won...

And I know you don't mean it like that, but it's how it comes across for me and I just had to rant since I've been there and I've seen it! I'm sorry if I offended someone because I didn't intend to that sad
