When Jamie died
|
And I didn't understand
|
The eternity of my sadness
|
I wised I could have prevented it
|
|
When I rest in bed
|
Dream about how I could have
|
Lived and played with my brother
|
How I wished that I could have saved him
|
|
If wishing could bring him back
|
He'd be here with me today
|
But then, I remember...
|
It happened anyway
|
|
When I look at pictures
|
And imagine what he would be like
|
Now a dozen years old
|
I wish I could have saved him from agelessness
|
|
If crying could bring him back
|
He'd be here with me today
|
But then I remember...
|
It happened anyway
|
|
When I think of why and how
|
He was with us and left us
|
I wished I could have prevented it
|
And stopped his death, and saved hium from
|
Never needing breath for birthday candles...
|
For birthday candles
|
|
If wishing could bring him back
|
He'd be here with me today
|
But then I remember...
|
|
When Jamie died I didn't understand
|
Oh, but then I remember
|
It happened anyway
|
It happened anyway
|
It happened anyway
|

It Happened Anyway
