Once upon a time
A long time ago
I thought that I should leave you
I thought that you should go
I never really said goodbye
I never even heard you cry
And after all this time, it's hard to say
The only love I had, I sent away

Ah, but you were young
Younger than I knew
I hope you can forgive me
I was younger too
I really thought that I could see
What was best for you and me
Though after all this time, it's hard to say
'Cause the only love I had, I sent away

Sometimes as I lay here in the dark
I wonder where you're sleeping
If you think of me at all
Are you warm?
Are you happy where you are?
Do you sometimes feel like weeping when the summers turn to fall?
Do you think of me at all?

(Repeat)

And so I send this out
Wherever you may be
To tell you I still love you
You're still a part of me
And if you could ever find a way
I'll be hoping for the day
When you can smile at me and tell me it's okay
That the only love I had, I sent away

oh god perhaps one of the sadest songs I've ever heard.

@1minutoenresistencia It has a happy ending, though. The child that Kipp gave up for adoption contacted him 25 years later, and is now a huge part of his life.

i love it more when Mark sings this number, let me burst in to tears.

[Egheaumaen]

@1979jane Mark has never sung this song. It's a true story that happened to Kipp.

[newscorpio2000]

@Egheaumaen help me out here. is this a song about a lost love from the past or a song about an adoption? from the comments i understand it is the second, (though with some imagination it can relate to the first one also) great song though, remembers me of my youth and loveloss.
