IT'S NOT SO LONG SINCE I SAT AND CRIED
AND A MEANING SEEMED SO FAR AWAY BUT I TRIED
IT NEVER CAME, I'M STILL UNAWARE
OF WHY MY CHILD WAS NO LONGER THERE
I THINK OF THAT TIME I WAS SO VERY SCARED
AND I WATCHED HER FACE AS HER FEELINGS WERE BARED
I KNEW STRAIGHT AWAY THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG
AND I WONDERED IF I WAS GOING TO BE STRONG
SHE TURNED TO ME WITH A LOOK OF DESPAIR
I'M SORRY THE CHILD IS NO LONGER THERE
IT MUST HAVE DIED BUT YOU NEVER KNEW
I FOUGHT IT, INSISTED IT COULDN'T BE TRUE
BUT THAT EMPTY CIRCLE WHERE TOM HAD GROWN
WHERE FOR SEVEN SHORT WEEKS HE HAD CALLED IT HIS HOME
WAS EMPTY, BEREFT OF HUMAN LIFE
AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF PASSING CUT DEEP LIKE A KNIFE
THE LOVE OF MY FAMILY HAS CARRIED ME FAR
I HAVE THREE LOVELY BOYS AND EACH ONE IS A STAR
THEY MAKE ME SO HAPPY AND GIVE SO MUCH LOVE
AND MY HUSBANDS SOFT KISSES AND STRONG LOVING HUGS
IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THAT AWFUL DAY
AND THE PAIN OF HIS PASSING HAS NOT GONE AWAY
I THINK OF HIM OFTEN, THE PAIN ALWAYS NEW
BUT I KNOW DEEP INSIDE ME I'M GOING TO GET THROUGH
