Smilin' Over Us
You told me
You loved me
More than life itself
Then why'd you
Leave me alone
I'm terrified of tryin'
To live without you
I don't think
I'll make it on my own
Every day
Brings a brand new pain
Maybe this is all
The seeds I've sown
I don't know
Why you left
Could you tell me
Where you are
My mind is sayin'
Carry on
But my heart
Keeps on sayin' no
And if you are
More near than far
I hope you're smilin' over us
I hope and pray
Yes, I do, every day
That you're smilin' over us
I want you to see
What there is
Left of me
What it is I've become
There's a beautiful little boy
With a face
So sweet and bright
He's got his mama's eyes
I never could have asked
For a better son
You left us all behind
All I want is
For you to find
Your way back home to us
I don't know
Why you left
Could you tell me
Where you are
My mind is sayin'
Carry on
But my heart
Keeps on sayin' no
And if you are
More near than far
I hope you're smilin' over us
I hope and pray
Yes, I do, every day
That you're smilin' over us
I read him a book
Every night
To help him sleep
And all I think about
Is how I need you
To keep him safe
I always end with
Your mommy loves you
She's smilin' over us
If you close your eyes
You'll see her face
I don't know
Why you left
Could you tell me
Where you are
My mind is sayin'
Carry on
But my heart
Keeps on sayin' no
And if you are
More near than far
I hope you're smilin' over us
I hope and pray
Yes, I do, every day
That you're smilin' over us
Please tell me
You're smilin' over us
