Why Couldn't It Wait?
She told me not to worry,
everything would be alright
That was the last time I talked to her
I'll never forget that night.
She was my reason for living,
She was my shining star
the last time I heard from her
she was getting in her car.
What was so important?,
why couldn't it just wait?
I wish I could take it back
but now it's too late.
They say words can't hurt you,
but that's not true at all,
I got the words I dread the most
when the sherriff made the call.
I was told about an accident,
out on route 99, for some reason
her car crossed the double line,
she didn't see the other car
coming around the bend
the skid marks started 50 yrds away
and here is where they end.
Among all of the belongings
of my shining star,
they found her cell phone
it was thrown from the car.
I didn't want to open it,
but it was something I had to do
her last message said,
" I'm on my way home, I love you!"
