You may not visit You may not call But in my heart You are there as the days are long You packed your bags and walked out that door With out a word to any of us at all You may not see the pain in our eyes For we are ones who let out the silent criesI never know what I may hearOr is it just the fear of you not being hereI watch and worry for your safety everyday For you are the child that walked awayMy heart grows heavy when I hear them speak Of someone that has just been beatOr when someone says there's been a wreck in the midnight streets You left to go to your Dad's And now you're gone to some where else The road you travel leads you down dead-ends And now you are losing all your friendsI saw this path in only one other And now just look at my dear motherShe tried her best to stop her daughter But ended up having to put her under I hope the path will lead you back To the things you wanted as in the pastBut should things take you further away Never forget that I am your mother and I love you The woman who brought you into this world And will be there for you in God's other world My hand is out for you to take hold And my arms are here forever to fold For you are my babyAnd this I will never deny For I just want one more chance to say good-bye
