Lucy Kaplansky - The Red Thread lyrics

I was only a girl

When I went out on my own

You wrapped me up warm

And just let me go

Now I live at the far end

Of this long distance line

And I'm just another one

Who's gone and left you behind

Wish we could look at your pictures

All the places you've been

I don't think you will

But you can see them again

'Cause you can see them through me

The brown eyes I got from you

Now I wish I could give 'em back to you

This much I can say

This much I can do

When your heart is empty

I'll try to fill it for you

'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love

From watching you

Wish that I could tell you

It'll all be all right

But you never did believe it

Through the trials of your life

You and I both know

It just isn't true

When so much you love

Has been taken from you

I remember when you told me

If we run out of time

How happy you were

Just to know she'll be mine

When I wrap her up warm

You'll be right next to me

'Cause they say that the red thread that ties me to you

Ties her to me

This much I can say

This much I can do

When your heart is empty

I'll try to fill it for you

This much I can say

This much I can do

When your heart is empty

I'll try to fill it for you

'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love

From watching you

Watching you

Watching you
