| "She Let You Go" | |
| SHE LET YOU GO by Lisa Mansell Marylou Johnson was Homecoming Queen, Her date for that night was every girl's dream. Who would have thought that one magical night, Would forever change Marylou's life. Marylou Johnson had a baby today, They're coming soon to take her baby away. A "mommy and daddy" for her little girl, A "couple" they said, who'd make her their world. How will she ever survive this day, She knows saying goodbye is the only way. She hopes that someday, that somehow you'll know, Her love for you is why she let you go. Marylou Johnson had a phone call today, From someone she'd thought about every day. The woman said she'd looked for her for years, Then she spoke to her daughter through her tears. For twenty-five years I've prayed for this day, I hoped that I'd have a chance to say, To my sweet little girl that I've never known, I've never ever stopped loving you so. There are things people do and decisions we make, That forever change the course our lives take. But the hardest decisions known to heaven above, Are the ones that we have to make, out of love. How did she ever survive that day, She knew saying goodbye was the only way. She hoped that someday, that somehow you'd know, Her love for you was why she let you go. Her love for you was why she let you go. |
