when i saw you leaving (for nisey)
jackson, alan
your whole life's looking fine
and a short few words later it all just comes untied?
you can't believe you're looking what was always someone else
now it's staring right there at you
yesterday you couldn't tell
so shocked and disillusioned
not knowing how and what to say
not accepting that it's true. you can't help but see the worst to come a thousand different ways
the same time trying to hold a strong and optimistic gaze. when i saw you leaving
when i saw you leaving in my mind. and the anger starts to surface
and you realize he probably wants the best
as time gets so more precious
a part you learn that's hard to play
asking god to let you take her place or just take it all away. hope you'll wake up in the morning
was all just been a dream
you never take for granted every second that you breathe. when i saw you leaving
when i saw you leaving in my mind. and the seconds turn to minutes
and minutes wouldn't last
days and weeks and months
seem endless and too fast
and the blessings poured from heaven
like the rain on that first spring
since that moment i first thought you
you might not always be with me. when i saw you leaving
when i saw you leaving in my mind. ain't it funny how
your whole life's looking fine
and a short few words later it all just comes untied?
