I went to a party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to
drink,
Mom So I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't drink
and
drive, Though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right, The party
finally
ended, And the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was
coming, Mom Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, The kid
that
caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the
paramedic say, This girl is going to die.
I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high, Because he
chose to
drink and drive, Now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the
pain is
cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy to be brave, And when I go
to
heaven, "Daddy's Girl" is on my grave.
Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if
his parents had, I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom I'm getting really scared. These are
my
final moments, And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mom, As I lie here and die. I wish that I
could
say, "I love you, Mom!" So I love you and good-bye.
