Through Her Eyes
She never really had a chanceOn that fateful moonlit nightSacrificed without a fightA victim of her circumstance
Now that I've become awareAnd I've exposed this tragedyA sadness grows inside of meIt all seems so unfair
I'm learning all about my lifeBy looking through her eyes
Just beyond the churchyard gatesWhere the grass is overgrownI saw the writing on her stoneI felt like I would suffocate
Inloving memory of our childSo innocent, eyes open wideI felt so empty as I criedLike part of me had died
I'm learning all about my lifeBy looking through her eyes
And as her imageWandered through my headI wept just like a babyAs I lay awake in bed
And I know what it's likeTo lose someone you loveAnd this felt just the same
She wasn't given any choiceDesperation stole her voiceI've been given so much more in lifeI've got a son, I've got a wife
I had to suffer one last timeTo grieve for her and say goodbyeRelive the anguish of my pastTo find out who I was at last
The door has opened wideI'm turning with the tideLooking through her eyes
