oh of this girl with eyes so bright
you've given cancer grows seep inside
oh what could you be
with a little girl up there in heaven
to brighten your world
shes got too much wisdom for someone her age
why take her out
why steal her away
oh here's the girl oh dried and yellow
fearful eyes oh she's gone down
oh and the girl
