Song: Wake Me Up When September Ends

Wake Me Up When September Ends 
Category: Music


This song will be forever linked with Darrel for me.  When Darrel was originally diagnosed, this Green Day song was moving up the charts...it was September 2005.  Hearing that he had cancer came as quite a blow to us all.  Hoping that moving away from that time would allow 
for the situation to change for the better never did materialize.

When Darrel did finally leave us, it was earlier this month, on September 9th, he was only 7.  Those seven years most certainly did go much too fast.  The roller coaster of emotions and pain involved through this entire ordeal will also effect who we are now, and more
importantly who the girls will become in the future.
 
 
"Wake Me Up When September Ends"
Green Day

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
