STILL YOUR CHILD- Shloime Daskal- Composed By Yitzy Waldner, Lyrics By Chaim Reinman- Poseach
When I was a child
You looked at me with pride,
You held my hand so tight
And smiled.
I felt so safe and warm
In the fortress of my home,
I knew that I was loved and not alone.
How those years have gone,
Bitter times have come,
Those sweet memories
Fade away.
I feel so cold and lost,
So far away from home,
A wanderer who lives
From day to day.
CHORUS 1:
Please tell me why you sent me away,
How could you let go of my hand?
I know we could have found a better way,
But now that I’m gone,
Tell me, what have we done.
I know the end is near,
There is nothing to be done,
The doctors shake their head
And turn away.
I mourn the days I’ll miss,
The life I’ll never have,
And the happiness I lost that fateful day.
I look up and I see
You standing at the door,
With sadness and regret
Upon your face,
I knew this day would come,
Together once again,
Who knew that it would be the last embrace.
CHORUS 2:
Please forgive me for all I’ve put you through,
And know I forgive you too,
Just to see you here means the world to me,
Now that you’ve come I feel that at last I’m home.
I’m grateful Hashem
That you sent me this day,
A final moment of peace,
…כִּי אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי וַהַ’ יַאַסְפֵנִי
