Lyrics
VERSE:
Hey now, sad girl, I know it feels like your world is ending
But you?ll be alright girl, even as you watch the dark, descending clouds
On the day you say goodbye
You say, who?s gonna raise you, into the woman that you?re becoming?
Who?s gonna give you, answers to the questions running through
Your tired and weary mind?
CHORUS:
Well even though she is gone
She will live on, through you
And when you sleep, her dreams will guide your way
And when you speak, you?ll know just what to say, through you
She lives on through you
VERSE:
Hey now, brave girl, I know you?ll want her there to tell you how
To know when, you have found the perfect one to love
Or how to raise your sons
And I know, it isn?t fair girl, that you?re alone without your best friend
No one to tell you bedtime stories, or to defend you
When you just don?t have the words
CHORUS:
But even though she is gone
She will live on, through you
And when you sleep, her dreams will guide your way
And when you speak, you?ll know just what to say, through you
She lives on through you
BRIDGE:
And you know she don?t want it to keep you down
And don?t you know she?ll be around
VERSE:
So go now strong girl, face the world, she?s watching over
You?ll get along girl, and every day you?re gonna make her proud
Of the daughter that she loves
CHORUS:
?Cos even though she is gone
She lives on, through you
And when you sleep, her dreams guide your way
And when you speak, you know just what to say, though you
And when you write, she tells you all the words, through you
And when you fly, she?s up there like a bird, it?s true
She lives on through you
Through you
Through you
Through you.
