Well at times it's been a fight
|
but I've tried to do what's right
|
even when everything went wrong
|
I still believed that we would make it
|
|
you put your tiny hand in mine
|
and I look in your trusting eyes
|
knowing that love will see us through
|
but if my life should end tomorrow
|
I know you'll be the living proof
|
|
And, I'll leave something good behind
|
you sweet child of mine
|
you've made my life worth living
|
and when all my earthly days are through
|
I'll leave here knowing I did what I came to do
|
and when I say goodbye I know that
|
I'll leave something good behind
|
|
Well at times it's been a fight
|
but I've tried to do what's right
|
even when everything went wrong
|
I still believed that we would make it
|
It hasn't always turned out like I planned
|
but I've done the best I can
|
to help you someday face the world alone
|
And after I've been long forgotten
|
you'll be my leagacy of love
|
|
And, I'll leave something good behind
|
you sweet child of mine
|
you've made my life worth living
|
and when all my earthly days are through
|
I'll leave here knowing I did what I came to do
|
and when I say goodbye I know that
|
I'll leave something good behind
|
|
Yes, when I say goodbye I know that
|
I'll leave something good behind
|

I'll Leave Something Good Behind
