Please don’t look at me with those sad eyes.
Baby, believe that I hate to see you cry.
If you just give me a reason.
Baby, believe these things don’t change by the season.
I admit that I’m so scared.
And you tell me that it’s not fair, to have to let go of me.
Baby, I’ll always be…

This is the way life goes sometimes.
This is the way that we say goodbye.
If only for now, if only just for now…

This is the way our tears fall down.
And yet we still smile somehow
Was this worth it?
We admit we wouldn’t change a thing.
And we never forget the ones we love
As I head for final destination as I lay here to rest
Know that I never left you, I’m still here
Just a little to the left.

I still wish I could have held the most precious life,
in my arms, if only for one night.
And I wonder; will she have your smile?
And I wonder; who’ll walk her down the aisle?
I wonder if she knows that I’m always watching.
I wonder if she’ll look among the stars for me.
And stay awake all night on the window sill.
Baby, I always will…

This is the way you’ll tell of all the times we had.
This is the way that we don’t fear our past.
If only for now, if only just for now…

This is the way our tears fall down.
And yet we still smile somehow
Was this worth it?
We admit we wouldn’t change a thing.
And we never forget the ones we love
As I head for final destination, as I lay here to rest
Know that I never left you, I’m still here
Just a little to the left.

And to the daughter I never got to know.
Know that I never left you alone.
I’ve been with you from the start.
Just place a hand to your chest.
Just a little to the left.

(While she was scared that she’d have to let go of me)
I was right there like I’ll always be…
For you…
(While you were searching the stars from the window sill)
I was shining bright like I always will…
For you...

Like I’ll always be…
Like I always will…
And you won’t walk alone.
And you won’t be on your own.
I’ll always be here, I always will…

I’ll wait for you, In sweet paradise,
I’ll wait for you, keep living your life.

This is the way our tears still fall.
After all these years, was it worth the time at all?
We still admit we wouldn’t change a thing.
We’ll always mourn, we’ll always cry
But in the end, I’m still with you, shedding the same tears.
One day, joy will take place of all our fears.
You’ll find me time and time again.
Just a little to the left.
