Yesterday saw you missing
Drawn to the light in the distance
Holding her hand while she listened
She told him how much she would miss him
Said his goodbyes to his children
And let the weight fade away

Am
I have your hands
                       F
But I have my mother's eyes
Your tact and poise
                            C
And her sense of wrong and right
                                      G
Heard you awake in the middle of the night
                                   Am
Letting go of the things you keep inside

                           F
Worked your fingers to the bone
                                  C
To be sent home with a cardboard box
                               G
Filled with everything you've known
             G                      Am
All things come to be loved and lost

I'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame
F
A small reminder of the days I thought would never change
C                                G
  They always say it's clear to see

How parts of you shine through in me
Am                                        F
  I think you know, you won't be here forever
                               C
And you're counting down the days
                             G                     F~
'Til you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip away

F                              G
  The lessons learned at your side
                          Am
Will stay with me all my life
                        C
The man I hope to become, I know is deep down inside
F              G               Am
I know, you don't even need to say
               C
I know you're proud in your own way
F    G    Am                  C
              I know you're proud in your own way

( F  G  Am  C )

          F
And you watched me grow up
      G
As I watched you grow older
     Am                          C
The chip off your block, held me up on your shoulders
F          G               Am
  I wish I told you yesterday
