My mother looked at me and cried
She said it felt like yesterday
You were just a babe laid in your father's hands
And I won't stand here in your way
You were born to chase the wind
Just don't forget to write me now and then
And with tears still in her eyes
She let go of my hand
And bid farewell until we meet again
And bid farewell until we meet again
So wrap her dreams around my heart
Her hands a guiding star
Her eyes light up the dark
We're not so far apart
We're not so far apart
And oh, what saddens me the most
That when I'm grey and old
She won't be there to look back on it all with me
So I'll hold my child close
And with my final breath
I'll bid farewell until we meet again
I'll bid farewell until we meet again
So wrap her dreams around my heart
Her hands a guiding star
Her eyes light up the dark
We're not so far apart
We're not so far apart
So wrap her dreams around my heart
Her hands a guiding star
Her eyes light up the dark
We're not so far apart
We're not so far apart
