To One That I Love
Have I failed you my sweet child
I know the answer
My tears of truth do not lie
The pain you've suffered
It lives in me
A marriage broken
Left you a casualty
A mother's deepest wish
Is to make everything right
But nine years before
Woke new in me tonight
I can't make it better
So I cry in vain
There will always be days
When my tears come
As a gentle rain
