Dedication

I started out as a child
You started out as you
And followed me too
In all the troubled times
That I led you through

But even in the crying times
I think you always knew
That I was smiling too
Because I loved you

And as I came to be
You taught me to be me
And gave me love so I could give
To those who needed me

And if I made just one child happy
Then I was happy too
And you were happy three
Because you loved me

Now my time has come
To be what I must be
And as the space between us grows
A tear runs down my cheek

But turning 'round, I see you smile
And so I smile too
And sing this song to thank you
Because I love you
