[Verse 1]
Eight years old, by the door I stood
You left with bags and a whispered “be good”
The wind didn’t answer the tears in my eyes
Only silence stayed as your long goodbye
---
[Verse 2]
Time moved on, but your shadow stayed
In birthdays missed and prayers I made
I learned to smile, I grew up slow
Still waiting for the knock that never showed
---
[Chorus]
Just one day — that’s all I ever asked
Not to rewind, not to hold the past
Just to see your eyes and hear you breathe
Before you fade again like mist in a dream
---
[Verse 3]
I have a home now, and a child of my own
But there's a quiet place where I still feel alone
Then word came — your body’s breaking down
And my heart turned into that eight-year-old somehow
---
[Bridge]
No, I don’t need reasons
No, I won’t ask why
But I beg the skies above me
Don’t let her say goodbye…
---
[Final Chorus]
Just one day — let me sit by your side
Even if you don’t say a word, even if you cry
Let me hold the hands that once let go
So I can finally whisper what I’ve always known...
---
[Outro]
You were gone…
But I never stopped being your child.
And I never stopped waiting.
