The song does say stuff such as "All of the joy that I had known for all my life .. Was stripped away from me the minute that you died" which would imply that "all my life" before the death was at least a fair bit of time.

Then later we have "Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted". So that's why I had sort of thought of it as her being in the 10-12 year old range. I agree that 10-12 seems too recent based on everything else, but the song points to her being that age. I suppose maybe she could have been in the 5 year old range.
