I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker As life passed through me I have seen the eternal footman hold my coat and snicker Leaving in this world only my memory As life passed through me I can hear my daughters cry Leaving in this world only my memory I know she only wonders why I can hear my daughter’s cry It hurts her this I know I know she only wonders why Her mother, did she have to go It hurts her this I know But she will learn to mend her heart Her mother did she have to go And soon my absence becomes a part But she will learn to mend her heart Blocking out the painful thought And soon my absence becomes a part Forgetting what should be forgot Blocking out the painful thought Moving on to better things Forgetting what should be forgot Finally spreading wide her fixed up wing Moving on to better things Sometimes now she will rejoice Finally spreading her fixed up wing She did forget the sound of her mother’s voice Sometimes now she will rejoice But other times things get sad She did forget the sound of her mother’s voice She is strong, just like her mom, and knows that this is just a fad But other times things get sad I see my girl and know she’ll grow She is strong, just like her mom, and knows that this is just a fad She will survive, so now I must go I see my girl and know she’ll grow I have seen the eternal footman hold my coat and snicker She will survive, so now I must go I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker To nothing
