[Verse] Ive never wanted anything more, Than to watch you as you grow. But it wasn't in the stars. It was a joy I'll never know. Even knowing what was to come, There was no way to prepare. I never wanted to lose you. And it left me in despair. [Chorus] How do I say goodbye, When I've barely said hello. How can I watch you leave, When I don't want to let you go. How did you touch my heart, In such a little time. How could God take you away, And leave me behind. [Verse] On the day that you arrived. I held you in my arms. Still hooked to machines. Ignoring the alarms. It brought this man to tears, As you struggled for every breath. And you took a piece of me with you, In the moment of your death. [Chorus] How do I say goodbye, When I've barely said hello. How can I watch you leave, When I don't want to let you go. How did you touch my heart, In such a little time. How could God take you away, And leave me behind. [Bridge] Even today the tears come easy, And I don't know what to say. It always breaks my heart, When I think about that day. [Chorus] How do I say goodbye, When I've barely said hello. How can I watch you leave, When I don't want to let you go. How did you touch my heart, In such a little time. How could God take you away, And leave me behind. [Finale]
