"Too Beautiful" by Joanne Cacciatore My child, I have to tell you There is truth within my heart From the moment that you left me Even since we've been apart Mere words will never let me show This emptiness so real In the silence that surrounds me Too much sorrow now to heal Perhaps, you were too beautiful Too perfect for this place Time passes and I wait, my child But nothing can erase Not even time or space For now, I pray for grace Not a time when I won't love you Dear child, you're everywhere Not a time when I won't miss you Not a time when I won't care In the moment of "hello" And in the moment of "goodbye" I'll keep your memory close With every tear I cry My child, I have to tell you There is truth within my heart From the moment that you left me Even since we've been apart Perhaps you were too beautiful Too perfect for this place!
