"It Doesn't Seem So Long Ago" (by Joe DiMino)

It doesn't seem so long ago,
And I haven't forgotten--
Still remember when
We tied that red bow;
And then said to each other,
"Now I've got you!"--
If only we knew,
Sometimes red bows turn blue--

And never change back again…

It doesn't seem so long ago--
That little seed we planted
Is now a flower in bloom;
And wants to let go,
Tie a little red bow;
He is tall as you were--

Of course I won't tell them,

Blossom as she is,

Strong as he appears to be,
That sometimes red bows turn blue--

And never change back again…

I've never stopped living,
Never stopped giving--
It was our way
To love
And fill the moments,
Share each precious breath
As if the last day--

I will tell her this…
I will tell him this…

Never forget to play;

Careful not to let my color bleed through;

Won't let a break of my voice display,

That red bows sometimes turn blue--

And never change back again…
