These three words

When was the last time
That they heard you say
Mother or father, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Daughter or son, I love you
Ones you say you cherish everyday
Can instantly be taken away
Then you´d say I know this can´t be true
When you never took the time
To simply tell them "I love you"
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Sister or brother, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Darling or best friend, I love you
The one for whom you´d give your very life
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Through you tears you´d ask why did you go
Knowing you didn´t always show
Just how much you loved them so
That they heard you say
Mother or father, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Daughter or son, I love you
Ones you say you cherish everyday
Can instantly be taken away
Then you´d say I know this can´t be true
When you never took the time
To simply tell them "I love you"
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Sister or brother, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Darling or best friend, I love you
The one for whom you´d give your very life
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Through you tears you´d ask why did you go
Knowing you didn´t always show
Just how much you loved them so
