I WANT YOU TO KNOW
©2000 Valerie Crockett
From Valerie & Walter Crockett's Emily's Angel on the Big Bark label.
Dedicated to Valerie's mom, Alma Orchinik
If your goal is to live forever
Then you just can't win
But if you cross the finish line
With a peace from within
Then you're a lifetime winner and you take home the gold
And when I can't hold your hand it's your love that I'll hold
CHORUS:
And I want you to know
That it's all right
If you're tired of the struggle
If you're tired of the fight
And I want you to know
That it's OK
If you want to close your eyes
And slowly slip away
It's not a weakness
To sing your final song
And I won't think you're a failure
When it's time to move on
And beyond my anguish and beneath my tears
There's an underlying joy that I've had you all these years
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
And I'll cry and cry when you're gone
But in the love you leave behind
You live on and on
REPEAT CHORUS
