Whenever you go Whenever you're leaving me Will I know what my feelings will be Will I smile and see you shaping your own life Or will I cry Now I go and I tell you why See the river flows but you don't have to cry My heart stays here You're my source and I'm your little child All of my life If you don't mind I'll sing a song about you about me And I write you these words cause I care honestly The water needs to go it's way to the sea And this way is you and me This is home and I fear to go Is it right, is it wrong, I don't know Well I made you grow, I made you walk on this ground It's time to let you go If you don't mind I'll sing a song about you, about me And I write you these words cause I care honestly The water needs to go it's way to the sea And this way is you and me
