My Lullaby, My Farewell
My lullaby, my farewell.
I sang it to you, wishing you well.
You sleep very deep.
For a soul that's not so steep.
And when I said my goodbyes,
I tried so hard not to cry.
Just seeing you there, smiling in your sleep.
Made me want to lay next to you, calling your heart for keeps.
But, I had to leave. I only made things worse.
I had to make life better, because you were so hurt.
I was the cause of your pain.
But, now you will be washed,
By a cleansing rain.
Rinsed from your pain and sorrow.
But, I will not be here tomorrow.
My lullabye, my farewell.
I sang it to you, wishing you well.
Knowing I won't be able to see you again,
I kissed you once more, and then...
Left a rose at your side,
The thorns taken off, and a note inside
of an envelope.
It's contents little,
Saying "No more pain will develope,
For you ever again.
I took the thorns off of the rose,
Because I don't want to
Cause you any more pain.
I love you, and my reason is why,
I left this house, and is no longer by your side.
The pain I have caused, shall wash away over time.
I hope you will forget me, but keep this rose by your side.
You must burn the note, it is no use to you.
I don't want you to see, all the pain you've been through.
So, I say goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.
And, I sing to you...
My lullabye, my farewell.
I sang to you, wishing you well.
I sang it to you, wishing you well.
