When The Time Comes
You were there to hold my hand,
As I went off to school for the first time,
And you were there to pick me up
When I skinned my knees.
You taught me how to love,
And you taught me right from wrong,
As I grew up, you grew older,
And I knew what I would do,
When the time comes.
I held your hand as you tried to sleep,
And I picked you up
When you needed me,
As you did when I was young.
I should you that love,
That you taught so well,
And I cried so hard
When the time came
For you to move on.
I see the memories as if a film,
And I feel the pain,
So I know it's real,
But tomorrow, it will dull.
And when the time comes,
I will do the things we used to do together.
Not tomorrow or the next day,
But when the times comes.
