I Wish

I wish that we had met When we were very young I wish it was you Who was father to my son Somethings can't be changed This I know is true It suddenly dawned on me That I can never be with you You need to do the things I've already done You need to marry and maybe have a son I just can't see myself trying to hold you back I hate the ugly truth of it But sadly it's a fact And so I'll step aside And hope you understand I want the very best for you You are a special man One day I'll see you in the park Playing with your son And I'll know the choice I've made Was the right one I will always love you And I hope that you'll remember me As the girl who loved you enough To set you free
