Seems one event
Set the pace for my life
You see, I was a Mother
Before I was anyone's wife
Not of a child
I could kiss, hug and hold
Just keep in my heart
And treasure like gold
Days seemed like weeks
Months were like years
Thought I would drown
In an ocean of tears

Child of my youth
Always in my dreams
They said I'd forget
I didn't, it seems
Spending my life
Searching in faces
Everywhere I went
All kinds of places
Trying to fill
That void in my heart
