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 we'll 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 mother's eyes
