Where Did You Go
WHERE DID YOU GO
When did the flame go out, behind those eyes of green
Are you reminiscing younger days, do you know where you have been
When you are remembering, a place or time gone by
Can’t you bear to leave the past behind, no matter how you try
Do you wonder who the faces are, in the silver picture frame
You look at me, and I just wish, that you could say my name
Are you sitting waiting patiently, for your dashing knight to come
Is there nothing there to let you know, you're a Nanny, Wife and Mum
When I wake you in the morning, sometimes I find a tear
Deep inside, are your emotions wrecked with guilt and fear
It's so sad to watch the grandkids, as they hug and hold your hand
They sort of know you love them, but they don't understand
It's so unfair, this sentence, to take a lifetime's memory
To rob you of emotion and the way you used to be
If only you could love the kids and reassure them with a kiss
But they know you can’t, you never will and it's the very thing they miss
