I know I can't, know I can't,
Give you everything that I have anymore.
All that I ever asked is for to
Give me everything you had and no more.
'Cause the days are getting shorter, As the nights grow long,
And I sit alone all day just writing these songs,
About the only girl I've ever loved,
And the only girl I want,
But I can't see you anymore because you're all gone, you're all gone.
When I was a young boy, you took me in,
And loved me as your own.
The greatest love that anyone can ever know,
Is the love from a mother's heart.
Though we are far apart,
I know as the tears fall on my guitar I
Look up at the stars and you are finally home.
And I know I can't, know I can't,
Give you everything that I have anymore.
And all that I ever asked,
Is for you to give me everything you had and no more.
'Cause the days are getting shorter, As the nights grow long,
And I sit alone all day just writing these songs,
About the only girl I've ever loved,
And the only girl I want,
But I can't see you anymore because you're all gone, you're all gone.
Sometimes I hear you when I sleep,
I never wanna' wake up from this dream.
'Cause I know when I do that your gone,
And you're never gonna' be with me.
I just hope that its true what they
Say when you gone is rest in peace.
You kept everyone straight.
We thought life was a game and we wouldn't be here today,
Without your strength and your patience,
Your love and your guidance.
Oh we love you so,
But you are finally home.
And I know I can't, know I can't,
Give you everything that I have anymore
And all that I ever asked,
Is for you to give me everything you had and no more
