I went to a party, Mom
I remember what you said
You told me not to drink, Mom
so I had a soda instead
I felt really proud inside, Mom
the way you said I would
I didn't drink and drive, Mom
though the others said I should
I knew I made the right choice, Mom
Your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended, Mom
and kids drove out of sight
I got into my car, Mom
sure to get home in one peice
never knowing what was coming, Mom
something I expected least
Now I'm laying on the pavement, Mom
I can hear the policeman say
that the kid who caused this wreck was drunk, Mom
his voice seems so far away
My blood is all around me, Mom
as I try hard not to cry
I can hear the paramedic say, Mom
that I am going to die
I'm sure the guy had no idea, Mom
while he was flying high
because he drunk and drove, Mom
that I would have to die
So why do people do it, Mom
knowing it ruins lives?
And now the pain is stabbing, Mom
like a hundred silent knives
Tell Sister not to cry, Mom
and tell Daddy to be brave
and when I go to Heaven, Mom
put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave
Someone should have taught him, Mom
that it's wrong to drink and drive
maybe if someone had, Mom
than I'd still be alive
My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm getting very scared
these are my final moments, Mom
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, Mom
I love you and Good-bye
O Heavenly Father up above
Please Protect the boy I love
Keep him safe, keep him sound
No matter where or when he's found.
Help him to know, help him to see
That I love him, let him love me
And oh, Dear Lord, help me to be
the kind of girl he expects of me.
You see Dear Lord, I love him more
than any boy I've loved before.
I know I will love him the rest of my life
Through sorrow, pain, fear and strife
Keep us now, keep us forever,
Always in love, happy together.
I'll say this prayer every night
For the boy I love, with all my might.
