-Present-

Nicholas:

She never really had a chance

on that fateful moonlit night.

Sacrificed without a fight,

a victim of a circumstance.

Now that I've become aware

and I've exposed this tragedy,

a sadness grows inside of me.

It all seems so unfair!

I'm learning all about my life

by looking through her eyes.

Just beyond the churchyard gates,

where the grass is overgrown,

I saw the writing on her stone,

I felt like I would suffocate.

"In loving memory of our child,

so innocent, eyes open wide."

I felt so empty as I cried

like part of me had died.

I'm learning all about my life

by looking through her eyes.

And as her image

wandered through my head,

I wept just like a baby

as I lay awake in bed.

And I know what it's like

to lose someone you love,

and this felt just the same.

She wasn't given any choice,

desperation stole her voice.

I've been given so much more in life.

I've got a son, I've got a wife!

I had to suffer one last time

to grieve for her and say goodbye.

Relive the anguish of my past

to find out who I was at last.

The door has opened wide,

I'm turning with the tide.

Looking through her eyes!
