Beautiful Child

from Behind a Veil by Jess Klein

/

lyrics

God grant me the strength
To thank him for all he gave me
All I want is to hate him for saying goodbye
God if you would take
Take this worry from me
I would have a clearer way to fly

Chorus:
I have stood here before
I have stood at your door
But I never stood this close ‘til now
If you show me the way
If you show me I’ll stay
If you show me I’ll stay your beautiful child

I don’t mean to ask
Why why why
I just complicate the task
You make so plain
It’s not for me to know
Why some people seem to let you go
Or how you love them just the same

Chorus

I know you won’t let me go
Why does it take so much pain sometimes just to know?
