how do you let go of your child's hand
when she's five, when she's six, when she's seven
how do you make the heart understand
she's alive, here on Earth, not in heaven

but you can't touch her
you can't see her
you can't even know where she lives

how do you let go of your child's life
when there's still so much more love to give

what can I do
what can I say
how can I make the pain
go away

what can I feel
what I don't know
how can I share the love
I can't show

you were taken to another country
no forwarding address
all I can do is hope and pray
for your happiness

I would give my life to see you again
just to be part of yours
without you my heart beats slower
and closes it's doors

how do you let go of your child's hand
when she's eight, when she's nine, when she's ten
how do you make the heart understand
you may never ever see her again

when you can't touch her
you can't see her
you can't even know where she lives

how do you let go of your child's life
when there's still so much more love to give

what can I do
what can I say
how can I make the pain
go away

what can I feel
what I don't know
how can I share the love
I can't show

I walk around in a dream that I will
from this cruel nightmare
all I can do is wish somehow
you know I still care

I don't know if I can trust love again
I'm lonely and afraid
without you my mind just wanders through
all the plans we made

take care of your children
treasure every moment you share
  for you never know...
tomorrow she may disappear


how do you let go of your child's hand
when she's growing up somewhere far away
how do you make the heart understand
why it's music will not play

when you can't touch her
you can't see her
you can't watch her grow up her way

how do you let go of your child's life
when there's still so much more left to say

what can I do
what can I say
how can I make the pain
go away

what can I feel
what I don't know
how can I share the love
I can't show

what can I do
what can I say
  how can I make the pain...
go away
why did you go away
what can the heart say
why did you go away
  why did you go away...
