Your life is day by day
Fighting something that wouldn't go away
You tell your family good-bye
Before they wheel you away
You don't know what to say
When they tell you your life maybe taken away
You tell your family good-bye
You tell us that everything is okay
That you will live to see the next day
When everything is not okay
You tell your family good-bye
We get a call they say
We're sorry we tried her life was taken away
We don't know what to say
They say she was fighting something that wouldn't go away
Lung cancer is what they say
That was the last time we heard her say good-bye
