Yesterday saw you missing, |
| [00:20.55] |
Drawn to the light in the distance |
| [00:24.93] |
Holding her hand while she listened, |
| [00:28.96] |
She told him how much she would miss him |
| [00:33.49] |
Said his goodbyes to his children, |
| [00:37.43] |
And let the weight fade away |
| [00:43.65] |
I have your hands, |
| [00:45.09] |
But I have my mother's eyes |
| [00:48.18] |
Your tact and poise |
| [00:49.67] |
And her sense of wrong and right |
| [00:52.41] |
Heard you awake in the middle of the night, |
| [00:57.04] |
Letting go of the things you keep inside |
| [01:01.96] |
Worked your fingers to the bone |
| [01:06.22] |
To be sent home with a cardboard box |
| [01:10.80] |
Filled with everything you've known, |
| [01:14.98] |
All things come to be loved and lost |
| [01:18.96] |
I'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame, |
| [01:23.05] |
A small reminder of the days I thought would never change |
| [01:27.33] |
They always say it's clear to see |
| [01:31.81] |
How parts of you shine through in me |
| [01:36.04] |
I think you know, you won't be here forever |
| [01:41.87] |
And you're counting down the days |
| [01:45.05] |
Till you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip away |
| [01:53.81] |
The lessons learned at your side |
| [01:55.60] |
Will stay with me all my life, |
| [01:57.84] |
The man I hope to become, |
| [02:00.03] |
I know is deep down inside |
| [02:02.12] |
I know, you don't even need to say, |
| [02:06.55] |
I know you're proud in your own way |
| [02:15.42] |
I know you're proud in your own way |
| [02:27.51] |
And you watched me grow up |
| [02:29.85] |
As I watched you grow older, |
| [02:32.29] |
The chip off your block, |
| [02:33.93] |
Held me up on your shoulders |
| [02:36.47] |
I wish I told you yesterday. |
