I know I'm no replacement for a child. A bit of brightness that your heart beguiled And burned away the sadness in your soul. I know I'm no replacement for a child, Nor could you by my love be reconciled To what both time and chance from your womb stole. But I would be the sun that on you smiled, Or gentle wind that made your winter mild, Warm enough to meliorate the cold. I know I'm no replacement for a child. There is no way that one could fill the wild Emptiness your phantom arms enfold. But I would be the sun that on you smiled, That lighted up the world that death defiled And gleamed across the bell that in you tolled. I know I'm no replacement for a child. But I would be the sun that on you smiled. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use. Audio and Video Music: Forever Yours. By Wayne Jones.
