[English]

Our baby boy was crawling in the living room You read a diagnosis 

It said that you'd be dying soon It was a sunny day 

Through the window, there were  people going on their ways 

Our little child had the biggest smile While we couldn't do nothing but cry

How much time do we have left together We never know 

All I know is I don't want to be here Without your love 

How much time do we have left together We never know 

We never know Wish we could take it slow

A man in white, with a room full  of diplomas, trying to get it right 

Could put you under hypnosis By saying to give up the fight 

But you were always determined to try

How much time do we have left together We never know 

All I know is I don't want to be here Without your love 

How much time do we have left together We never know 

We never know But we keep standing strong

I admire your power I admire your will 

You made me question the world Made me question what's real 

I admire your power I admire your will 

Your ability to heal Oh, I admire your power 

I admire your will The way you never gave up 

Until you grew wings And you learned how to fly 

Made a loop in the sky You landed right into my arms

How much time do we have left together We never know 

All I know is I don't want to be here Without your love 

How much time do we have left together We never know 

We never know Wish we could take it slow
