[Verse]
D
I am six years old in the back of my
 mother's car
    G
And I will be seven in December
D
She will be gone by the beginning of
 next spring
    G
And I will be left to remember
      D
To re member

D
I ask my little questions

She laughs a little laugh
    G
But she won't tell me where we're 
going
    D
She looks in my eyes with her eyes 
in the mirror
         G
And says some things you're better 
off not knowing
    D
Not knowing

But I don't know what her voice 
sounds like
A                     G
I don't know what her skin feels

  A                 G
I only know what it might feel like

When a mother holds her daughter
          Bm                 A    
When that mother knows she's

Leaving this life

D
She's left with that reflection of 
me at six years old
    G
And I have her eyes in the mirror
     D
Well she and I, we are defined by 
what we have lost
G
Don't you wonder whose loss is 
dearer
D
Dearer
