When you first begin your journey
You're not sure of who you are
And the lessons that you're learning
Never seem to take you far

And you just can't keep from stumbling
Though you try so hard to stand
And the truth can be so humbling
It's so hard to understand

I was...
Wrong to let you go I was a child
And I did not know about the love
That we both could have given

And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if not...
I hope I'll see you in heaven

I've been sitting in this garden
In the middle of my days
My memory fades and hardens
As the years they slip away

And I've been looking in this mirror
At the age around my eyes
Time has search an earnest laborer
Precision is his neighborer

I was...
Wrong to let you go I was a child
And I did not know about the love
That we both could have given

And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if not...
I hope I'll see you in heaven

I was...
Wrong to let you go I was a child
How could I know about the love
That we both could have, should have, given

And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if not...
I hope I'll see you in heaven
