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...
