lyrics

There he is, and after all this time he opens for embrace.

Here I am, a million thoughts in my head, but all I want to know is...

All these years gone by and I can't face him now.

His face, his eyes, I know I recognise,

That look, that smile, and after all this time

Where have you been?

"Oh my darling don't you know?

I never let you go.

The day you were born

Your mother said to me:

'I'll raise this girl alone,

She'll never have to know.

The damage you have done is set in the stone.'

Welcome home, can I forgive what he's done?

Could we ever heal?

Take me home, fix this broken mess.

Why was I not told this?

All these years gone by and I can't face him now.

His face, his eyes,I know I recognise,

That look, that smile, and after all this time,

Where have you been?

'So I worked, my fingers to the bone,

So you could have a home.

But I never knew your name

And you never knew my pain.

The letters that I wrote,

My whispers on the wind.

With every day that passed,

I knew I'd failed you.'

'Oh my girl, don't you know?I,

I never let you go.

Oh my Darling, I...'
