It's been 25 years and 11 days
Since I was last in the wom
Of a woman celebrating the pain
But in her body she was carrying something else
An unwelcome guest
An intruder in a beautiful house
They say that cancer is a hard and a stubborn man
But still he teaches us something that nobody else can

I had a letter that she wrote me
But I couldn't read the cursive yet
So daddy sat me in his lap and he read it
The words she said to me I didn't really grasp it yet
And after all these years I finally understand it
Love will never leave this place
No, love will never this place

You know looking back I was a happy child
I did so much better than to just survive
But I guess I'm singing this song somehow
Because I know somewhere in this world right now
You're sitting in the emptiest corner of the darkest room
You're fighting some great war you fear your gonna lose
If I could find you in the moment of your greatest pain
I'd take you by the hand and I would say come on
Stand up I wanna see you live
As though there something beautiful you have to give
'Cause there is
Yeah there is

Come on and stand up let me see you see this through
As though you've got somebody holding on to you
Cause you do
Yeah you do
And love will never leave this place
No, love will never leave this place

Stand up I wanna see you live
(Love will never leave this place)
As though there's something beautiful
You have to give cause there is
(Love will never leave this place)
There is
Come on and stand up let me see you see this through
(Love will never leave this place)
As though you've got somebody you can hold on to
Cause you do
(Love will never leave this place)
You do
Love will never leave this place
No love will never leave this place

It's been 17 years and a single day
Since the child that I was
Became the child that I still am today
