Description
I keep your picture in my breast pocket,So you're forever lying beside my heart.
Too young, naive and afraid of this love,
I'll hold you with me though I pushed us apart.
I gave the womb that carried you
All the care I could.
But when you came I lost my heart
And thats why we're so far apart.
10 perfect fingers, 10 tiny toes,
The biggest brown eyes there ever could be,
My heart you gripped when you held my finger,
The power you possess will forever linger.
On our last night as a family,
I held you close and cried with you,
And through my tears and quiet sobs,
I sang the words I knew were true.
"I will let you down,
I will make you hurt.
All that will remain
Will be my footprints in the dirt."
I loved you more than I thought I could,
But my cowardice clearly overtook.
You'll be in my heart forever, for sure,
But this fear I'm not strong enough to cure.
