Lyrics

V1
Hey Lucy, I remember your name
I left a dozen roses on your grave today
I'm in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away
I just came to talk for a while
I got some things I need to say

Chorus
Now that it's over
I just wanna hold her
I'd give up all the world to see that little piece of heaven looking
back at me
Now that it's over
I just wanna hold her
I've gotta live with the choices i made
And I can't live with myself today

V2
Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday
They said it'd bring some closure to say your name
I know I'd do it all different if I had the chance
But all I got are these roses to give
And they can't help me make amends

Bridge
Here we are
Now you're in my arms
I never wanted anything so bad
Here we are
For a brand new start
Living the life that we could've had

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand
Me and Lucy never wanna end
Just another moment in your eyes
I'll see you in another life
In heaven where we never say goodbye

Bridge
Here we are, now you're in my arms
Here we are for a brand new start
Got to live with the choices I’ve made
And I can’t live with myself today

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand
Me and Lucy never wanna end
Got to live with the choices I’ve made
And I can’t live with myself today

Hey Lucy, I remember your name

So sad. Whats crazy is why people even do abortions. I mea sure you are scared but, people are willing to help and everyone is able to forgive so is God

Its about a young couple who got pregnant. They aborted the baby girl for fear of what thier parents would do. After a few weeks they went to a counselor because they felt so guilty. the councelor gave them three peices of advice: to hold a funeral for the baby girl, tell thier parents and get a gravestone for her, and to name the child. They named her Lucy.

This song is POWERFUL. Is there a story behind it, Skillet? I'd like to use it to illustrate a message.

This song is truly emotional and it strikes a cord in my heart. I think of all the people that I have lost during my life. For all people that have gone through loss of a family member, friend, loved one, we must be strong. God bless you all...

I just lost my husband 4 months ago, and this song if I didn't know better was written for me. It is so true, and sung so beautifully. I haven't cried so much since the day he died. Awesome. Thank you. God Bless.

Beautiful song! Love it! I researched the inspiration behind the song (I hope it is true). Found out the song is about a young couple who found themselves in an unplanned pregnancy. The couple chose an abortion. They had a dfficult time afterward and sought the help of a therapist. The therapist suggested they name the baby (Lucy) and give her a grave. Now the lyrics are even more powerful after this knowledge.

Beautiful song!! I agree with the other folks: who is Lucy?? I want to know!! With such heartfelt lyrics and wow music, why can't we know?? Is she a girlfriend, a baby, or what?? What happened to Lucy?? She's in heaven and what about the choices?? I'm too noisy, ain't I??

I love this song! Like most people I would like to know what or who the influence for this song was! I have been trying to figure it out for some time now. It is an amazing song!

When i heard this song it struck me and gave me a new perspective on life and death. i heard of someone named Lucy who was murdered. i dedicate this song to her memory.

I'm curious what the influence for this song was. I heard it for the first time today. I'm a truck driver. I go home about every 6-10 weeks. and this song brought tears to my eyes. so if anyone could tell me the influence for this song i'd greatly appreciate it.
