They go off leaving me behind.
They have so many worlds to find.
I run to catch a glimpse of them,
Just watching in the sun,
Knowing they'll be mine again
When evening has begun.
And when I see them hand in hand,
The boy who walks beside the man,
I pray that I will always have
The world that I have found.
The husband, the son,
That I have built my life around.
He'll never know of that night long ago.
He'll never know it's locked in my mind.
No, he'll never know from the feelings I show.
He'll never know his son's only mine.
Sometimes I lie awake at night
Watching darkness turn to light
Thinking back on all the things I said to him today
Wondering if I might have had a careless word to say.
But when the morning's almost here
He reaches out to draw me near.
Silently I search his face for the love I hope to see
And once again I'm sure that all his love belongs to me.
No, he'll never know of that night long ago
He'll never know it's locked in my mind.
No, he'll never know from the feelings I show.
He'll never know his son's only mine.
No, he'll never know of that night long ago.
