Leaving It Behind Lyrics

"Leaving It Behind"

How many springs did I run through the meadow
Amazed by all the colors in the field
Handfuls of flowers and I couldn't wait to pick 'em
Mama look the daffodils are here
A few days of glory and then they were gone
It always made me sad to watch them die
(But it) helped me to learn they were never mine anyway
And part of life is leaving it behind

How many springs has it been since that morning
We said goodbye to mama on this hill
Just like today, the wind seemed to lift us
Connecting us to destiny fulfilled
A few days of glory and then we are gone
It always makes us sad to say goodbye
(But it) helps us to learn they were never ours anyway
And part of life is leaving it behind

I still have the questions
I still cry the tears
I still see the beauty in these flowers
But now I leave them here

I count every day as a gift that I'm given
To be with all the flowers on the hill
Don't have to look very hard to get livin'
In gratitude for every hush and thrill
A few days of glory and then I'll be gone
Sometimes it makes me sad to say goodbye
(But it) helps me to learn it was never mine anyway
And part of life is leaving it behind
