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
