I know it’s hard...
Things are far from easy right now—
But hey? Remember what she told us?
Don't cry and just remember her.
So what you crying about?
She’s still here...

Darling, I know you loved your mum,
But if you love your dad too,
you'd remember, before dying, what your Maman said to you;
She said not to cry, that she’ll live on,
That it was enough to remember her when she was gone,

And I can see it in your eyes;
The grief in those pools as you cry,
Through your tears, as you lie,
You say that you’re okay,
I know you're not, but you won't say,
As you brush your tears away,
you’re alone, day after day,

I’m at a loss at what to do, myself,
We all miss her more than anything else;
But we bottle it up, putting ourselves
and everyone around us through hell,

Now, hush, Dominique, wipe your tears away,
Everything’s gonna be okay,
Just try to hold it together, my baby,
I promise, we’ll be there for you every day;

I know things aren’t easy right now,
And we want to cry, and say,
“Why did you have to die?�
But you’ve got to remember, my love,
That we’re gonna see her again someday.

I remember way before
when we first found out
And to know she was going to die—
I was there, by her side,
And I tried to accept it,

But we were all so cowed;
See, I just wanted to make you and her proud,
Yet now, she’s gone, wrapped in a shroud,
Dominique, please, please don't weep;
I know that you always cry yourself to sleep,
Perhaps if we all started counting sheep—
And we fell into a slumber so deep,
that maybe, things might not be as they seem;
We might wake up one day,
And it could just be a dream...

Now, hush, Dominique, wipe your tears away,
Everything’s gonna be okay,
Just try to hold it together, my baby,
I promise, we’re gonna be there every day,

I know things aren’t easy right now,
And we want to cry, and say,
“Why did you have to die?�
But you’ve got to remember, my love,
that we're gonna see her again someday.

And you know I'm here for you—
Daddy’s always here, little Dominique,
I’ll never leave your side;
I’ll always protect you; I’ll kill for you; I’ll do anything for you to stop your cries,
And if anyone tries to fuck with you, or makes you cry,
I’ll break their bloody necks,
And if they kill me, I’ll see her again,
So, hush, Dominique, don’t cry.
