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'rе making Heaven laugh
But it feels like tеars 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
