To look at his face
Is to look at the sky
It fills me with wonder
And makes me want to fly.
I see the storms come and go
I see the sun rise and fall
I just wish he'd know
That I'd been there to watch it all.
I've been there to help
So secretly I almost didn't know
What I was doing
Or when I'd have to go.
But I had to leave well enough alone
And rip my heart away
For I knew I'd be in trouble
If I dared to stay.
I'd say something I only meant to think
And on that day
I'd have to face the consequences
Whether to leave or to stay.
