Janet

She was diagnosed in the summer
 And she died a year later
 Attended to by me and my brother
 But death, he came to take her away
 And I still have my memories of a
 Good woman
 Forget your friends and enemies, like a
 Good woman
 My mother told me to be kind
 And she told me to be true
 And when I go through harder times
 I will do my best for you
 And life it got much harder
 In time it wore away
 And though it's only been a year
 If I could see her for one day
 I'd tell her all my memories of a
 Good woman
 A loss that was not meant to be, of a
 Good woman
 My mother told me to be kind
 And she told me to be true
 And when I wake up in the night
 I will always think of you
 Sleeping through the darkness
 While you're sleeping through the light
 The feeling when your heart breaks
 Is only half the fight
 (Hmmm)
 My mother told me to be kind
 And she told me to be true
 And when I go through harder times
 I will do my best for you
 My mother told me speak my mind
 And try to see a fairer palette
 And when I go to close my eyes
 I will always see you, Janet
