As ek geweet het dis die laaste keer dat ek jou aan die slaap sou sien raak, sou ek meer moeite gedoen het om jou warm toe te maak. As ek geweet het dis die laaste keer wat ek jou by die deur sien uitloop, sou ek jou gedruk en gesoen het - en jou teruggeroep het vir nog 'n drukkie. As ek geweet het dis die laaste keer dat ek jou stem sou hoor, sou ek dit op band op geneem het sodat ek dit weer en weer kon speel.

Soen groet

Die nag was koud maar jou hande was warm
Jou hitte het my hart weer tuis laat voel
Verbode soene in die maanlig het my hart laat jaag
Toe ons weer kyk was dit tyd om te groet
Ek’t jou met n swaar hart laat gaan
Ek en jy het geweet dit was die laaste
Ons laaste soen groet

Jare later staan jy weer voor my in die maanlig
My hart so koud soos die winters nag
Jare alleen, jare gewag
Jou hand raak saggies aan my wang en my trane val
Mt soen groet, my engel, my seëlsgenoot
Stadig lig jy my kop en kyk in my oë
Ek kan nie weer die kans waag
Nie weer, nie nog n soen groet
Jy glimlag, my hart jaag
En jy soen my sag
Ons eerste soen groet

If you were...

The cold sweeps in as the door shuts
You were never mine yet I loved you as if you were
I dreamed as if you were
I hoped as if you were
I talked to you in my head as if you were
But you weren’t
Never will be
I know you want to be
I wonder if you loved me as if you were
If you dreamed as if you were
Hoped as if you were
And talked to me in your head as if you were
Selflessly I’ll walk away knowing you never were
I don’t want to hurt you, but you’re with her
Glassy eyes filled with tears dreaming as if you were
Glancing, cold, dark all around
It’s like you never were…

Today

Today I miss my baby girl
Today I wonder if your hair would’ve curled.
Today I wonder about the times we’d have spent
Today I sometimes think I know your scent
Mommy loves you more than you know
Your big brother would’ve made such a show
We’d have laughed and played and cried
But you would’ve been mommy’s pride
Big brother would’ve made you his little Queen
What a pleasure to mommy that sight would’ve been
Today my girl, I am not strong
But knowing you’re with Him keeps me plodding on
I’ll keep your memory in my heart
As it seems that’s where you were meant to be from the start
Mommy and big brother love you princess…
