oh this world we re in today sometimes ain t a pretty place but when i look at you i see something beautiful and in my heart i know there s a reason you put your tiny hand in mine and i look in your trusting eyes knowing that love will see us through but if my life should end tomorrow i know you ll be the living proof and i ll leave something good behind you sweet child of mine you make my life worth living and when all my earthly days are through i ll leave here knowing i did what i came to do and when i say goodbye i know that i ll leave something good behind well at times it s been a fight but i ve tried to do what s right even when everything went wrong i still believed that we would make it it hasn t always turned out like i planned but i ve done the best i can to help you someday face the world alone and after i ve been long forgotten you ll be my legacy of love and i ll leave something good behind you sweet child of mine you make my life worth living and when all my earthly days are through i ll leave here knowing i did what i came to do and when i say goodbye i know that i ll leave something good behind  yes when i say goodbye i know that i ll leave something good behind
