Death Of Samantha Lyrics

People say I'm cool
Yeah, I'm a cool chick, baby
Every day I thank god
That I'm such a cool chick, baby

When I'm on the phone, I thank god
My voice sounds smooth and clear
Without a trace of tear
When I'm at work, I thank god
I still have that smile ma used to say lit her day
But something inside me
Something inside me died that day

People say I'm cool
Yeah, I'm a cool chick, baby
Every day I thank god
That I'm such a cool chick, baby

When I'm with people, I thank god
I can talk hip when I'm crying inside
When I'm with friends, I thank god
I can light a cigarette when I'm choking inside

People say I'm cool
Yeah, I'm a cool chick, baby
Every day I thank god
That I'm such a cool chick, baby

A friend lent me shades
So I could hide my eyes
That day was a snowy day
The shades have seen a lot of things
I didn't want to know myself

It was like an accident
Part of growing up, people tell me
But something inside me
Something inside me died that day

What do you do?
What can you do?
What do you do?
What can you do?

The world suddenly looks a strange place
People seem talking in foreign words
And something inside me
Something inside me died that day

What do you do?
What can you do?
What do you do?
What can you do?

Cover art for Death Of Samantha lyrics by Yoko Ono

Yoko suffered at least two 2nd trimester miscarriages. I've also lost two babies, and this song, to me, is so clearly about trying to smile and be strong on the outside and not show the terrible pain and grief of losing a child that noone else has seen. (That even now Yoko can still be so strong after all the horrible things that have happened in her life is just amazing.)

I definitely agree with you. And I'm very sorry for your loss as well as Yoko's. :(

@daffy47 There's nothing said about any miscarriages.
