Ronan
Taylor Swift Lyrics

I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I have a vivid memory of how you would run down the hallway with your feet bare.

I remember your little laugh
I can still recall your adorable laugh- a sound that continues to ring in my ears.

Race cars on the kitchen floor
I recall how we played with toy cars on the kitchen floor.

Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back
I fondly remember playing with plastic dino toys with you which would fill my heart with love- a love that could extend to the moon and beyond in space.

I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club
Your blue eyes used to brighten up, and we shared some secret glances like we had a secret club that only we knew about.

I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking me up
You loved dancing before bedtime, and sometimes you'd jump on me and wake me up in the middle of the night.

I can still feel you hold my hand
I can still feel the grip of your tiny hand holding mine- a feeling I miss dearly.

Little man, from even that moment I knew
Even from that early stage in your life, I knew you were a strong-willed and determined child.

You fought it hard like an army guy
You fought hard, like an army guy, especially when you were feeling sick or unwell.

Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
I remember leaning in and whispering words of encouragement and love to you to embolden you.

Come on baby with me
I'm asking you to come along with me on this journey.

We're gonna fly away from here
We'll escape to a peaceful place where there's no pain, fear or sadness.

You were my best four years
The first four years of your presence in my life were the best moments of my life.

I remember the drive home when the blind hope
Driving back home after treatment was a time of blind hope- hope that everything would be alright.

Turned to crying and screaming, "Why?"
However, that hope was soon transformed into gut-wrenching sadness where I would just end up asking 'Why us?'

Flowers piled up in the worst way
I can still recollect the severe impact of your death with flowers laid upon your grave in the most sorrowful manner.

No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died
There's nothing that one could say about a beautiful child like you who passed away so early.

And it's about to be Halloween
Halloween- a festival that used to bring you so much joy is approaching soon.

You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
If you were still here with us, you would still have the opportunity to become anything you wanted to be- nothing would be impossible.

I remember the last day when I kissed your face
I have a vivid memory of the last day when I got to kiss your face before I had to say goodbye for the last time.

Out of this curtained room in this hospital
I wish we could fly out of this confined and restricted hospital room to a more peaceful and comforting place.

We'll just disappear
Let's just disappear from the harsh realities of life and the painful memories and relive the happy moments once again.

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
It's a humble what-if question where the singer dreams of visiting your room and closet, trying to have a imagined conversation with you.

What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into?
What if I kept clothing items that you would have eventually grown into but didn't get the chance to, as a token of remembrance for you.

And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
What if I still hold on to this hope that one day, a miracle could occur that could bring you back to us.

But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you
However, even if it's a single moment or a mere memory, that itself would be a miracle and would be the most cherished one in their life.
