Baby Flower Girl

Dear maid, kind sister, sweet Ophelia!
A loving soul who’s worked so hard
To get where you’ve gotten in life
And now you lie apart from this world in the graveyard

The church bells will ring
And the morning doves will sing their tune
But I will never hear your voice again,
And never feel your touch anytime soon.

Your breath caresses the November air,
And your eyes sparkle under the moonlit stars
Only memories of the past – and the good times gone by
Oh why didn’t I stop that man?
Why didn’t I pay attention to the scars?
As they lower you down into the frozen earth
I wonder why you lived as long as you did.

The day you died
Another flower left this world
Bruised and battered but never broken
Run away from the pain and I find
You curled up in despair
On a line between life and death
Those poisoned words from your father
Have filled your mind
Corrupted your thoughts
And I am your antidote
Beautiful Baby Flower Girl,
Don’t die on me tonight.

You were so close,
Yet you thought this would never get better
The news killed me inside
And the thought of never hearing “I love you” again
Makes tears fall on your sweater
Beautiful Baby Flower Girl,
Don’t die on me tonight.

The sky cries white
But all I see is black
As I watch your face one last time
My beautiful Baby Flower Girl

The day you died
Another flower left this world
Bruised and battered but never broken
Run away from the pain and I find
You curled up in despair
On a line between life and death
Those poisoned words from your father
Have filled your mind
Corrupted your thoughts
And I am your antidote
Beautiful Baby Flower Girl,
Don’t die on me tonight.


Why did you leave?
Why did your father treat you so?
I wish I could have showed you
There’s a better world out there
Till love do us part,
I will always be there for you
Baby Flower Girl
