Lucy Kaplansky - For Once In Your Life Lyrics
Remember when they took him in the middle of the nightAnd nobody told you where he'd goneDeath in with morning light and touched your father's handIn a hospital uptown, where your mother sat aloneFor two weeks no one told you, as if it never happenedYou held the hope that he was still aliveThe funeral was over, no way to say goodbuyYou've never had a chance to show the tears you hold insideChorus:I want to make it up to you somehowMaybe there's something I have I could give you nowThere's so many things you never hadMaybe it doesn't have to hurt so badFor once in your lifeThere's so much that I wanted that you could never giveI just never got that I was stronger than youIt wasn't a fair fight, you bleeding on the groundAnd me standing over you waiting for another roundI would tell you that I'm sorry, but I know what you would say'Cause I think that you forgave me long agoI really don't know why, I don't think I deserve itMaybe a person forgives so they don't have to be aloneChorusIn our home movie I remember we're sitting in the sunI'm crying, you're smiling at this girl of your ownAnd you're posing me for the camera and everyone aroundAnd I can feel that smile nowChorus
