Gilman Billy It Happened Anyway Lyrics

It Happened Anyway Lyrics

When Jamie died

And I didn't even understand

The eternity of my
sadness

I wish I could have prevented it



When I rest in
bed

Dream about how I could have

Lived and played with my
brother

How I wish that I could have saved him



If wishing
could bring him back

He'd be here with me today

But then I
remember...

It happened anyway



When I look at pictures

And imagine what he would be like

Now a dozen years old

I wish
could have saved him from agelessness



If crying could bring him
back

He'd be here with me today

But then I remember...

It
happened anyway



When I think of why and how

He was with us
and left us

I wish I could have prevented it

And stopped his death,
and saved him from

Never needing breath for birthday candles...

For
Birthday candles



If wishing could bring him back

He'd be
here with me today

But then I remember



When Jamie died I
didn't understand

Oh, but then I remember

It happened anyway

It happened anyway



It happened anyway

It happened anyway
