Before You Left

Before You Left

Lonely little lost boy

Dearest friend of mine

Where do you think you're going

And can I trail behind?

The world is such a big place

Full of dark and light

So if you're headed out there

I'm coming for the ride

Oh how these are the things

I wish I'd said, before you left

Oh how these are the words

I wish you'd read, before you left

Before you left

Kindest little lost boy

Oh how loved you are

With your biggest little smile

And the stars inside your heart

I want to take your hand

And never let it go

You're slipping far away

Gone where I don't know

Oh how these are the things

I should have said, before you left

Oh how these are the words

You should have read, before you left

Before you left

Weeping little lost boy

Beloved of my heart

You are far beyond my reach

Lost inside the dark 

When you pulled the trigger

And tore yourself beyond

I pray you reached for God

And went running for the sound

As the light was drawing in

And your breath was fading fast

I pray that you cried out

 And he that loves you, had you last

Oh how these are the things

I hope you said, before you left

Oh how these are the words

I hope you heard, before you left

Before you left
