If I had only turned to look around.

There are many things in life you see

That make me think of what you could be

The thought of you every night

If you had only stayed in my sight

 

When I think of the day

That broke my heart

And took you away

From me and all your family

 

The day I turned my back

And didn’t think to look where you were at

There were no worries in my mind

To have to turn and look behind

 

The one that has to sit alone

And wonder what you would be if I had only known

When you were taken, you were very young

And your life had just begun

 

I wonder at times were you would be

But I know now that you’re in the place you should be

With the man that will take care of you

And has loved you, even before I knew you

 

The place where I hope you watch over me

And will always help me

For one day I will see you again

And I’ll bless God forever, Amen
