Was working on this song for my sister Michelle Donovan based off what I wrote after she passed. Tried to get a rough recording down tonight.
Don’t say you’re leaving,
Don’t say goodbye,
Let me hear you laugh,
Let me see you smile.
Who will say “I love you”
Be there when I cry?
Pick me up when I’ve fallen,
Tell me to give another try?
Just don’t say you’re leaving,
Don’t say goodbye,
I won’t be able to believe it,
Just stay for a while.
Who will be my big sister,
And be like my mom?
Who could ever take your place,
If you’re gone?
Who will be there,
When the world turns its back?
Who will know I’m not perfect,
And still love me for that?
Who will I tell all my secrets,
And not live in the past?
Who will help me see the world,
Make memories that last?
I’d never replace you,
I’d never even try.
Just don’t say you’re leaving,
Don’t say goodbye...
