For Paul

And you came to me on Easter Like an angel sent from God I didn’t see you, didn’t hold you Procedure, nothing odd I cried for you, I longed for you To never know who I was My giving you up, doing what’s best It was all for a better cause And she came to me, in the blackness of night Try and fail, but don’t not try at all I agreed and held you close Then decided to name you Paul I cried for you, I longed for you To know the sacrifice I’d made We would both give up so much in life None for which I would trade And everyday I think of you How your life would be without me Do you wish for more, wish for less Hope to one of her three I have tried so hard to protect you From all of life’s broken dreams But did you know on that glorious day You saved my life, it seems And I want to, need to tell you now Before it gets too late You are my saving grace from God Nothing short of fate
