Soon You'll Go

Soon you'll go You'll make your mark Soon you'll go Takin' my heart Soon you'll soar Into the sky And I'll be there To watch you fly Tiny fingers clutching tightly round the edge of the bed Wouldn't listen to a single word your mother said I remember how you'd force yourself to stay awake And wait up to hear my footsteps when I came home late These things I will hold on to When I can’t hold on to you Soon you'll go You'll make your mark Soon you'll go Takin' my heart Soon you'll soar Into the sky And I'll be there To watch you fly Wrote your name in giant letters scratched them into the wall Trying to reach us when you couldn’t quite express it all Made a protest we would notice and the motive was clear Now I understand it looking back across the years These things I will hold on to When I can’t hold on to you Soon you'll go You'll make your mark Soon you'll go Takin' my heart Soon you'll soar Into the sky And I'll be there To watch you fly Soon you'll go You'll make your mark Soon you'll go Takin' my heart Soon you'll soar Into the sky And I'll be there To watch you fly When it’s time to say goodbye I’ll be there to watch you fly Go on soar to the sky Spread your wings it’s your turn to fly Cos I’ll be there I’ll be there to watch you fly To watch you fly
