I know I can't, know I can't
Give you everything that I have anymore
All that I ever asked
Was for you to give me everything that you had and nomore
'Cause the days are getting shorter
As the nights grow long
And I sit along all day
Just writing in 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 my mother's heart
Though we are far apart
I know
As the tears fall on my guitar
I looked up at stars
And you're finally home

And I know I can't, know I can't
Give you everything that I have anymore
All that I ever asked
Was for you to give me everything that you had and nomore
'Cause the days are getting shorter
As the nights grow long
And I sit along all day
Just writing in 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 the dream
'Cause I know when I do that your gone
And you're never gonna' be with me
I just hope that is 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 is you 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
All that I ever asked
Was for you to give me everything that you had and nomore
