M. T. Hadley Janet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was diagnosed in the summer
And she died a year later
Attended to by me and my brother
But Death, he came to take her away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I still have my memories of a
Good woman
Forget your friends and enemies, like a
Good woman

[Chorus]
My mother told me to be kind
And she told me to be true
And when I go through harder times
I will do my best for you

[Verse 2]
And life it got much harder
In time it wore away
And though it's only been a year
If I could see her for one day

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'd tell her all my memories of a
Good woman
A loss that was not meant to be, of a Good woman

[Chorus]
My mother told me to be kind
And she told me to be true
And when I wake up in the night
I will always think of you

[Bridge]
Sleeping through the darkness
While you're sleeping through the light
The feeling when your heart breaks
Is only half the fight
(hmmm)

[Chorus]
My mother told me to be kind
And she told me to be true
So when I go through harder times
I will do my best for you
My mother told me speak my mind
And try to see a fairer planet
And when I go to close my eyes
I will always see you, Janet
