To Teach Me Lyrics

The dark shadows overcome the sky, I try to stop the tears, but they just won't go away.. No, there's nothing you can say, I remember the night, how scared I was, the night I learned

You were permanently gone, a small piece of me fell away. Try to explain to a little girl that she'll never again see her Mommy.
Growing' up has been so hard, from riding bikes to fallen' in love.. First kisses, first dances, it'd be so much easier if with you this stuff I could share.
Wish you were here to spend this life with me, tuck me in, and read me a fairy tale, help me to learn how to spell, tell me why this boy don't like me, be with me the day I get married.

Help me do my hair, cook my food, buy me clothes, do my nails, bug me before a dance, tell me to clean me room, tell me my shirts to tight, tell me my pants don't fit right, tell me I'm wearing too much make up..

These are the things people take for granted, I need you here to tell me all that matters is that you love me when the cheerleader makes fun of me even when I'm at the best I'll ever be.

I need you to look upon, when the rest of the world seems to look down on me, for I will always miss you..
