When I was a child
You looked at me with pride
You held my hand so tight
And smiled
I felt so safe and warm
In the fortress of my home
I knew that I was loved and not alone
Now those years have gone
Bitter times have come
Those sweet memories
Fade away
I feel so cold and lost
So far away from home
A wanderer who lives
From day to day
Please tell me why you sent me away
How could you let go of my hand
I know we could have found a better way
But now that I'm gone
Tell me what have we done?
Please tell me why you sent me away
How could you let go of my hand
I know we could have found a better way
But now that I'm gone
Tell me what have we done?
I know the end is near
There is nothing to be done
The doctors shake there head
And turn away
I mourn the days I'll miss
The life I'll never have
And the happiness I lost that fateful day
I look up and I see
You standing at the door
With sadness and regret
Upon your face
I knew this day would come
Together once again
Who knew that it would be the last embrace
Please forgive me for all I've put you thru
And know I forgive you too
Just to see you here means the world to me
Now that you've come I feel that at last I'm home
I'm grateful hashem
That you sent me this day
A final moment of peace כי אבי ואמי עזבונו והשם יאספנו
Please forgive me for all I've put you thru
And know I forgive you too
Just to see you here means the world to me
Now that you've come
I feel that at last I'm home
