You say you need me to give your heart a song to sing

That the only joys you've known with him are the joys your children bring

You say yours are old enough to understand if you were gone

But mine still watch the door and wait for daddy to come home



Darling forgive me I need you but I still can't do this thing

Though yours are old enough to fly mine still have tiny wings



I hold you and I tremble as old feelings come alive

And deep down where my love lives I know I need you to survive

While I'm praying for the answers to the problems our love brings

The only sound that I can hear is the call of tiny wings



Darling forgive me I need you...
