Vital signs are looking up
Pink ribbon practically tattooed on her heart,
Aunt Verna, I didn't want to say this before
but I'm saying it now,
I'll make it to heaven somehow
I can't hold it in anymore
the tears, the pain, I sat with my mother
while she cried I cried too
but what the hell else could we do?
You weren't dead, you never died
not to me, not inside
The Lone Pink ribbon on my breast
is darker than the rest
I was there in spirit when you ...
God I can't even say it...
I want to tell you what I mean,
how I am...what I've seen
But I can't... so the pink ribbon says it all
all that I couldn't say,
I'm sorry that you had to die that way
