Melanie's Song

I never knew how deep you'd grown in my heart
I never knew what you meant to me
I never knew how much I'd come to care
'Till was time that I set you free
'Till was time that I set you free

But if I come to you on bended knees
Do you think that you might stay
If I made you more precious than life itself
Do you think there might be a way
Oh no you said as you touched my brow
please hear these words from me
I must go to a land where the grass is green
And the children run wild and free
And the children run wild and free

So fare thee well my own true love
Fare thee well child of my dreams
You've held me close and you've taught me well
Things are not always what they might seem
Things are not always what they might seem

But if I come to you on bended knees
Do you think that you might stay
If I made you more precious than life itself
Do you think there might be a way
Oh no you said as you touched my brow
please hear these words from me
I must go to a land where the grass is green
And the children run wild and free
And the children run wild and free

Please come to me still in my dreams at night
Take my hand 'fore the light of dawn
Let me smell your hair on a wind swept beach
As my life carries me along
As my life carries me along
