He once was here, this precious child;
To feel, to laugh, to play.
He once was me, this precious child;
To live, to love, to stay.
But don't you see, he went away.
He was too sad...too hurt...
To live where love could be no more,
To laugh where light was dim.
She once was there, this precious child;
To cry, to grow, to sing.
She once was you, this precious child;
To reach for everything.
But don't you see, she went away,
She was too sad...to cling
To hopes that could not live again,
To dreams that would not die.
As time went by, he waited there,
In a place not far away.
She watched...and knew...somehow...again...
She would return...
To play...
And sing...
And laugh...
And live...
And never, EVER, go away!
