about

This song is a tribute to my mother Gwyneth Ellen Young, who passed away when my daughter was two years old.

lyrics

Somewhere deep inside I knew you were leaving
closing down this chapter of time
I could hear it in your voice see the light was fading
wondering when this day would arrive

but I’m not ready to lose you
and my baby’s too small to see you go
and though I am with you
my tears they overflow

tell me that you’re safe and sound tell me that there’s comfort
show me a sign and I will see
I wear your coat upon my back your jewels upon my heart
but help me find a way to believe

‘cause I’m not ready to lose you
and my baby’s too small to see you go
and though I am with you
my tears they overflow

but I’m so slowly
learning how to say
goodbye


I’m drifting thru a winter haze I am wandering thru the memories
I am slipping in and out of the cold
but soon the winter it will go and flowers will awaken
to take me from this overflow

then I’ll know that I’ve lost you
still my baby’s too small to see you go
and though I am with you
my tears they overflow

still I am so slowly
learning how to say
goodbye
