1. They go off and leave me behind
They have so many words to find
I run to catch a glimpse of them
Just walking in the sun
Knowing they'll be mine again
When the evening has begun.

And when I see them hand in hand
The boy who walks beside the man
I pray that I will always have the world
That I have found
The husband and the son
That I've built my life around.

[Chorus:]
No, he'll never know of that night long ago
He'll never know, it's locked in my mind
No, he'll never know from the feelings I show
He'll never know, his son is only mine.
(No, he'll never know of that night long ago)

2. Sometimes I lie awake at night
Watching darkest turn to light
Thinking back on all the things
I said to him today
Wondering if I might have had a careless word to say.

When the morning's almost here
He reaches out to draw me near
Silently I search his face for the love
I hope to see and once again
I'm sure that all his love belongs to me.
