Lyrics

Last I saw you
Sunshine in your eye
You were learning
Learning how to fly
Full of mischief, full of joy
Where’d you go my beautiful boy?
Full of mischief, full of joy
Where’d you go my beautiful boy

When I held you to my breast
I felt your heart
Peak and crest
Like butterfly wings
Like angels sing
Like church bells ring

When that beat was laid to rest
I lost my heart
Inside my chest
A hollow place
Just darkened space
Devoid of grace

Last I saw you
Turning to a man
Your time to make
Time to make your stand
Full of promise, full of joy
Where’d you go my beautiful boy?
Full of promise, full of joy
Where’d you go my beautiful boy?

Somehow now I must go on
And find a way to be
To search for peace
To find relief
To bear this grief

Somehow I must find the light
And see it shine anew
You’d want me to
As I would you
If I were through

Then I saw you
In the smile of a stranger
Then I saw you
In the eyes of your sister
Full of life, full of joy
There you are, my beautiful boy
Full of life, full of joy
There you are , my beautiful boy
