Nicholas Present She never really had a chance On that fateful moonlit night Sacrificed without a fight A victim of her circumstance Now that Ive become aware And Ive exposed this tragedy A sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair Im learning all about my life By looking through her eyes Just beyond the churchyard gates Where the grass is overgrown I saw the writing on her stone I felt like I would suffocate In loving memory of our child So innocent, eyes open wide I felt so empty as I cried Like part of me had died Im learning all about my life By looking through her eyes And as her image Wandered through my head I wept just like a baby As I lay awake in bed And I know what its like To lose someone you love And this felt just the same She wasnt given any choice Desperation stole her voice Ive been given so much more in life Ive got a son, Ive got a wife I had to suffer one last time To grieve for her and say goodbye Relive the anguish of my past To find out who I was at last The door has opened wide Im turning with the tide Looking through her eyes
