[Intro]
Oh, how could I miss you,
When I've never seen your face?
Echoes of a love I never knew,
In this empty space.
[Verse 1]
Momma says you danced with life,
In the fast lane, wild and free,
Gambled with the streets at night,
Where you found your destiny.
But then the doors closed tight,
Before we shared a single glimpse,
You took a chance, took flight,
While I lingered in silence, a wisp.
[Pre-Chorus]
Questions linger in my mind,
Like shadows casting doubt,
Why'd you leave when a hello
Was all it took to figure out?
[Chorus]
Oh, take me where the rivers flow,
Through those bright gates of gold.
To see you, hold you, let you know,
The love I carry, fierce and bold.
[Verse 2]
Memories are just whispers,
Stories drifting through the air,
Dreams of adventures, forgotten glimmers,
In the moments we won’t share.
I would have been your little angel,
My protector shining bright,
But you left me to wander,
Alone in the dark of night.
[Pre-Chorus]
Questions still echo and fade,
Why can't I just understand?
What we could have built together,
In a life as father and hand.
[Chorus]
Oh, take me where the rivers flow,
Through those bright gates of gold.
To see you, hold you, let you know,
The love I carry, fierce and bold.
[Bridge]
Now I call out to the heavens,
A whisper on the wind, you see,
Wishing for a piece of you,
To heal this part of me.
Was I not the child you wanted?
Did the stars misalign too soon?
Watch over me, my guardian,
As I gaze up at the moon.
[Chorus]
Oh, take me where the rivers flow,
Through those bright gates of gold.
To see you, feel you, just to know,
In the end, we’ll break the mold.
[Outro]
So till that day when we embrace,
I wish you could hear my call,
I’ll carry you inside my heart,
Until we meet, beyond it all.
