You have been loved

Intro:                                    She takes the back road and the lane Past the school that has not changed in all this time     She thinks of when the boy was young All the battles she had won just to give him life That man she loved that man     for all his life     And now we meet to take him flowers and only God knows why    For what’s the use of pressing palms when children fade in mothers’ arms? It’s a cruel world we’ve so much to lose     And what we have to learn we rarely choose              So if it’s God who took her son He cannot be the one living in her mind      "Take care my love" she said     "Don’t think that God is dead"      "Take care my love" she said   "You have been loved"                     If I was weak forgive me    but I was terrified     You brushed my eyes with angels’ wings Full of love the kind that makes devils cry So these days my life has changed     and I’ll be fine     But she just sits and counts the hours searching for   her crime    So what’s the use of pressing palms if you won’t keep such love from harm? It’s a cruel world you’ve so much to prove     And heaven help the ones who wait for you              Well I’ve no daughters I’ve no sons Guess I’m the only one living in my life      "Take care my love" he said     "Don’t think that God is dead"      "Take care my love" he said   "You have been loved"
