Once your girl I'm always your girl When I'm here or when I'm there Or on a plane headed somewhere You were staring down the cars Hoping it would be one of ours Children and grandchildren writing you cards But how long were you waiting for me To make a left down your street? It's not if, darling it's when Was there something left unsaid? Were your eyes green, were they blue? What was it that I forgot to ask you? Busy hands, I'll set 'em down To say I love you right out loud I'll bet you're making heaven laugh But it feels like tears and memories are all we have Once I knew it I was always a know it all Too busy too stressed out To take your call Thought I would always find you there Sitting in your TV chair While time is in a bar having a laugh somewhere The nurse said you were waiting for me To let go, to let it be It's not if, darling it's when There's always something left unsaid Were your eyes green, were they blue? What was it that I forgot to ask you? Busy hands, I'll set 'em down To say I love you here and now Did God need a new lead in his band? When this world and its people Are all we have Once your girl I'm always your girl
