I lost you once before but now I will never leave your side
Now I’m there for every birthday and every time you have cried
I waved you away on your first day at school
I told you that boy was a fool
I was there when you thought I wasn’t
and with you when you thought I was
Together we chose the bouquet
I walked with you down the aisle on your wedding day
I sit with you and watch the grandchildren play
Now it is your time
Your spirit leaves you as you climb
You smile and pass me as you shine
As you disappear, I will have no fear
Because a smile from you is all I need
To last me till eternity
