Today could have been the day
That you'd blow out your candles
And let go as you close your eyes
Today could have been the day
Everybody was laughing
Instead I just sit here and cry

Who would you be?
What would you look like
When you looked at me for the very first time?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life

Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah

Would you have been president?
Or a painter, an author, or sang like your mother?
One thing is evident
I would have given all I had
Would've loved you like no other

Who would you be?
What would you look like
Would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life

Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah

Oh, not a day goes by
Oh, oh
Oh, I'm always asking why
Oh, oh

Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
I'm always asking why
This crazy world had to lose
Such a beautiful life we never knew
Gone too soon
You were gone too soon, yeah

Oh, oh
Not a day goes by
That I don't think of you
