Because as diligent as a person may be, it is not their diligence, their watchful eye, their special care that keeps their child. It is only a circumstance of the plan for their life. We like to think we are in control of our lives, of our daily happenings, but that is an illusion we create for ourselves in order that we might sleep at night. The truth is frightening.
Every day I wake up, I wonder...what if. What if I had done this instead of that, gone here instead of there, called this doctor instead of that doctor...would I still be holding my little boy? The parents of that toddler will do the same thing. Only they have to do it under the spotlight of the cruel world. God help them.
Lyrics:
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... In my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... In my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... In my heart
