If you would of



If you would of stopped smoking
If you would of listened
If you would of done what we said
This never would of happened
We told you not to smoke
It was bad for your health
We told you what would happen
We thought you would of listened
You had a daughter only 3
Who no longer gets to her your laughter
She will only have few memories
All becuase you didn't listen
She won't be able to remember
The way you held her close
The way you smiled at her
While you watched her grow
You thought that nothing would ever happen
Now look...
You have left us forever
And never to return
