From the recording final draft.
Lyrics
I wish I could see your face
Every day
Every night
But, darling, it will be okay
'Cause some day
I'll make it right
I didn't want to leave
But your mother sheltered you from from me
Please, my sweet baby
I tried to stay, but it couldn't be
In your eyes I see life
And, in your smile I see mine
For the first time
I just hope that you come to know me
Issi
It isn't easy for me
To say
My peace
'Cause I've got you buried so deep
I try not
To think
I didn't want to leave
But your mother sheltered you from from me
Please, my sweet baby
I tried to stay, but it couldn't be
In your eyes I see life
And, in your smile I see mine
For the first time
I just hope that you come to know me
Issi
So, until next time
I'll live my life
My baby girl, this is goodbye
