Intro- the tempo is
slow and soft. It was
nice and easy to
listening to start the
song. In major scale.

Sunny days seem to hurt the

most.
I wear the pain like a heavy
coat.
I feel you everywhere I go. I
see your smile, I see your
face,
I hear you laughin' in the
rain.
I still can't believe you're
gone

It ain't fair: you died too

young,
Like the story that had just
begun,
But death tore the pages all
away.
God knows how I miss you,

Verse 1- Slow and

soft. The beat stays
the same from the
intro. It is in the duple
meter. In the major
Scale.

Chorus- Its in the

Would you see the world? Would you
chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family,
I wonder what would you name your
babies?
Some days the sky's so blue,
I feel like I can talk to you,
An' I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair: you died too young,

Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your
place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
