We never spoke a word
Your voice I've never heard
Gone before I saw the world
In stumbled the golden girl
I may not be here
That much isn't clear
I may not be
I may not be here
Three full years before
I was born into yours
Taken away
As night swallowed the day
Of all the stories I've been told
Only one face I know
I may not be
I may not be here
Can I shake your hand?
Your one picture is faded and tan
Our one minute to talk
Is under key and lock
All the stories I've been told
Only one face I know
If it wasn't for you
All the people you knew
Where would I be?
You gave me your name
Just a face in a frame
Never to see me
I may not be here
I'd like to say hello
To know what you'd say
I didn't know you'd go
Best of both worlds if you could stay
Of all the stories I've been told
Only one face I know
