Volar

You were the first to give me a gentle touch
To say I love you with a smile so much
To stroke my hair, touch my little face
To whisper in a sigh, what a pretty girl in this place

They say on those nights when I couldn't sleep
Peeking in the crib, drool running down my cheek
They say you would say, I hope you never grow
How beautiful is my girl, I hope you never go

That's why I want to remember you and those moments we shared
That's why I want to remember you, no matter what happens, I still care... I still care

I know you'll have to cry
But life goes on, whether you like it or not
I’ll have to live my life, leave your side
I’ll have to learn to fly

The moment would come when you had to go, off to that damn job
That pulled you away from me, oh how it felt so wrong
I prayed at night, asking God in my plea
Don’t send her too far, keep her close to me

That's why I want to remember you and those moments we shared
That's why I want to remember you, no matter what happens, I still care... I still care

I know you'll have to cry
But life goes on, whether you like it or not
I’ll have to live my life, leave your side
I’ll have to learn to fly
