I didn’t know you were my favorite —
I whispered it in your ear, just in time
Before you left me with all the rest.

I didn’t know you were my favorite –
That might have made it awkward,
Here amongst the living.

I whispered it in your ear, just in time.
And I’m sure you heard me,
And I think you smiled.

Before you left me with all the rest,
You did the lifetime of things
That made you my favorite.
