Verse 1 Oh, how I long to sing to you In the simplest kind of song My beautiful girl, I fear somehow You’ll hear the meaning wrong. To tell you how I’ve always loved you Though you felt it wasn’t true And every word I tried to say Somehow just wounded you. Chorus Where do we go from here, my beautiful girl? How did our hearts unravel in this world? I’m still standing with my arms held open wide Loving you through the silence on the other side. And if you ever turn around You’ll find me waiting still ’Cause a mother’s love doesn’t disappear No matter how broken we feel. Verse 2 I don’t expect you’ll understand The choices that I made And every offering of love May seem too little, much too late. I’m sorry for the hurt I caused For all the pain you knew There are scars I cannot take away No matter what I do. And though your anger cuts so deep I’ve mostly stayed quiet through the years Holding back a thousand words And swallowing my tears. Chorus Where do we go from here, my beautiful girl? How did our hearts unravel in this world? I’m still standing with my arms held open wide Loving you through the silence on the other side. And if you ever turn around You’ll find me waiting still ’Cause a mother’s love doesn’t disappear No matter how broken we feel. Verse 3 You were too young to know my story Or battles fought alone The nights I barely made it through Still trying to build a home. Through every storm and broken place One thing stayed strong and true Not for a moment in this life Did I stop loving you. I was so young when life began And suddenly there you were A precious soul placed in my arms In a world that felt unsure. Bridge Let’s build a bridge between us now Though it won’t be easy ground And heal the echoes of the past Before they pull us down. I still dream of brighter days Where love can lead us through A softer place for me and you And all we’ve both been through. So I ask for understanding And the chance to see this through Maybe one day you’ll see my heart From a different point of view. Final Chorus Where do we go from here, my beautiful girl? How did our hearts unravel in this world? I’m still standing with my arms held open wide Loving you through the silence on the other side. And if you ever turn around You’ll find me waiting still ’Cause a mother’s love doesn’t disappear No matter how broken we feel. No… a mother’s love doesn’t disappear Even through the hurt we feel. Outro I long for you I miss you My beautiful, strong girl.
