Beloved Daughter Of Mine
My dear child,So pure and full of life
But yet so young
You lay here in my arms,
Safe and warm
I will never, ever, leave your side
But how will I know,
If you will stay by mine?
It seems like you have been here
Throughout my entire life
I can not imaging tomorrow,
Or the next day after
The future bring me sorrow
In this warm summer-night,
You stay here in my arms so tight
But you will be gone with tomorrows light
You are a woman now
I do not understand how,
The time could go by so fast
I must be stuck in the past
I do pray,
That here you will stay,
By my side
My beloved daughter of mine
Oh Mother earth,
Give me the strength to say goodbye
A tear from my eye,
And I whisper in your ear,
That I hold you so dear
Tomorrow is now here,
You wake up with a smile on your lips,
And I play with your golden hair,
With my pale fingertips
Goodbye is the saddest word to hear
Will this be the last time I will hold you near?
You are about to leave me now,
To a warrior become,
Just like I once were
You lean over,
And kiss me on my cheek
Goodbye my mother,
You whisper in my ear
