What Can I Do?

What can I do to help you,  you asked, tell me, any way?
There are so many words to try, yet nothing left to say

Can you stop the clock from ticking, taking minutes from his life?
Can you stop my heart from breaking and remove this sharpened knife?

I know we all must leave this world, I know we all must die
The only doubt I have right now, is very simply, why?

Can you hold my hand and hold me close when it's his time to go?
Can you please make sure he knows he's loved and how I'll miss him so?

What can I do you asked me on this day of sorrowful pall
Just understand, and be there 'til my tears no longer fall.
