For My Son

Before I knew that you were coming I was allready waiting In my bedroom window every night I would burn a candle bright Like the light on a stormy sea So you would come straight to me Find me Before I knew you would come I loved you as the only one In everyone I looked for you Before I even knew Before I knew that you would arrive I could hear your gentle steps outside And when darkness fell all around When evil came without a sound A star of night mercifully sent me My wish for all to see So you could be loved here My darling Before I knew you would come I could hear your gentle steps outside
