''If tears could build stairs''

If tears could build stairs I'd come see you now,
If wishes could come true I'd turn time around.

If crying could bring you back I'd cry my heart away,
If laughing could keep you here I'd laugh every day.

If remembering didn't hurt I could remember your smile,
If I didn't love you so, I could forget after a while.

But whatever I do or whatever I say,
I can't bring you back; there just isn't any way.

Because tears can't build stairs, and wishes can't come true,
Crying wont bring you back, laughing can't hide how much I miss you.

I can cry and scream, hate the world for taking you away,
But it wont change a thing, or what happened that day.

Because your gone forever like a whisper in the wind,
And if I try to mend my broken heart I just wouldn't know where to begin.

I know wishes can't come true, crying wont bring you here,
But I can't stop wishing, and I can't hold back every tear.

So if tears could build stairs and if wishes could come true,
I'd climb right up to heaven and say how much I miss you...
