I Heard You Cry I feel the tears As they run down my face Lost in time Feeling out of place I walk in the room As I start to lay down More tears came to my eyes And came tumbling down I tried to convince myself This was the right thing to do Because I wasn't ready To deal with you I closed my eyes I wanted to die Then I realized I'd never be able To hear you cry Your first word I will never hear I'll never get to kiss you Or be able to hold you near I said, "I'm sorry" And started to cry For I was here To let you die The doctor came in I said, "I have to go" He asked if I was sure I said, "I don't know" I left that day Never to return To think of what I almost did Makes my heart burn But when I saw your little face I knew that we'd get by And I knew I did the right thing When I heard you cry By: Dawn Bilyeau Copyright (c) 1998 Dawn Bilyeau
