who passed away in June of 1995.
I wrote it on her birthday, which she had shared
with her twin sister, Jaime, for 15 years.
The frosting is done.
Messages added,
Just for some fun.
The candles are lit,
The wax starts to run.
There should be two names on the cake.
The presents are lined up,
"Guess which one's from me!"
It would look like Christmas,
If there was a tree.
But there's only half
Of what there should be.
There should be two names on the cake.
The family has gathered,
A few friends are here.
Jaim' makes her wish,
We hold back a tear.
The candles are harder
To blow out this year.
There should be two names on the cake.
The presents are opened,
The faces are bright.
A piece of cake's passed,
I have a few bites.
But there's one less person
'Round the table tonight.
There should be two names on the cake.
Not long from now,
We won't have to cry.
We'll meet up with Jesus
And Kim in the sky.
And then there in heaven
We'll understnad why
There's only one name on the cake.
