The Day I Left You
The day I left you,
You ran hand-in-hand,
I released you from me
But it was never the plan.
I was hardened by life
I was begging to feel
I was lost in my soul
Down trodden for years.
Some days I look back
Feeling my pain...your pain?
We never talked about it
Is there something to gain?
You're older now, such beautiful men,
You have always been
the better part of me,
I'm proud of you, can you see?
I'm sorry my children...that I said goodbye.
You were the light of my life
Today I finally cried...
Please come to me
Please speak your mind
I need to hear your truth
I can handle it this time.
Lets stand together,
Lets hold each other's hands,
Leaving you that day...
It was never my plan...I'm sorry.
