Everything changed, as soon as you left home The road ahead without you there Became hard to walk on down We sold the house we used to leave in It took us years to say goodbye Mom, finally found the courage to leave you behind Moving on, little by little, burying deep your memory Until the pain was gone But now I know the reason, is magnificent The absence of you shaped my life in so many ways It's who I am today, I know the reason is magnificent Though I'll always miss you I traveled the world, looking for answers But that was my youth now I'm working hard And you'd probably be proud I'm wide awake dreaming of someday To see you again, face to face and tell you That now I know the reason, is magnificent The absence of you shaped my life in so many ways It's who I am today, I know the reason is magnificent Though I'll always miss you I know I'll always miss you
