I must have felt your tears When they took me from your arms I'm sure I must have heard you say goodbye Lonely and afraid had you made a big mistake Could an ocean even hold the tears you cried
But you had dreams for me You wanted the best for me And you made the only choice you could that night
(Chorus) You gave life to me A brand new world to see Like playing baseball in the yard with dad at night Mom reading Goodnight Moon And praying in my room So if you worry if your choice was right You gave me up but you gave everything to me
And if I saw you on the street Would you know that it was me And would your eyes be blue or green like mine Would we share a warm embrace Would you know me in your heart Or would you smile and let me walk on by Knowing you had dreams for me You wanted the best for me And I hope that you'd be proud of who I am
(Chorus) You gave life to me A chance to find my dreams And a chance to fall in love You should have seen her shining face On our wedding day Oh is this the dream you had in mind When you gave me up You gave everything to me
And when I see you there Watching from heaven's gates Into your arms I'm gonna run And when you look in my eyes You can see my whole life See who I was And who I've become
