For Cotton
I remember that last night
As if it were moments ago
If I had known it was the end
I’d have made it count more
I remember that last night
Holding you in my arms
You were tired, you were done
I begged you not to give up
I remember that last night
All the tears, all the sadness
That kiss on your forehead
That sigh from your mouth
I remember that last night
When I didn’t think it would be
I promised there’d be more
I promised it would get better
I remember that last night
And I wish I could go back
As I Look at your pictures now
And stand beside your grave
