Darling one day you will know Why it is that you must go Why tomorrow you will be So far away from me Maybe then well understand How easily The time between The sweetest love and bitter tears Can be measured in your tender years Some would say the world is lost In court rooms as the details Of the custody and court costs Are read aloud to the parties I believe my world is saved By a little girl watching her daddy shave Standing there without a care Watching daddy through your hair Suddenly I recognise What used to be your mothers eyes
