Every step I take takes me farther from you
|
Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you
|
Since you were a child we built our lives around you
|
How am I supposed to live in this world we made without you?
|
|
Sometimes late at night I go the field
|
Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?
|
Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?
|
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
|
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
|
|
When you joined the war we were so proud of you
|
You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you
|
Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you
|
It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you
|
|
Sometimes late at night I go the field
|
Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?
|
Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?
|
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
|
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here
|
|
And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean
|
And you will always be my little one
|
|
If I was the President, if I was that man
|
I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand
|
If I was the President, if I was that brave
|
I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave
|
If I was the President and my world turned black
|
I would want no victory, I'd just want you back
|
|
I don't want no victory, I just want you back
|
