Watching you standing at the edge of your life
I think about everything you’ve been through
Can’t say I don’t worry, ’cause I love you so much
And I know what this cold-hearted world could do to you

I could have known before
How this all would play out
I’d have played my cards differently
So things would be easier now

If I had all the money in the world
And nothing to give you but time
And it all were laid at my feet
Things might have been better
But all I have are these arms to hold you
And a promise to love you forever
I wish it were more
I’m praying it will be enough

So many compromises
So much wasted time
Cursing the darkness that held us so long
So many choices
Each one had its price
But you had to pay for each time we were wrong
My lessons came far too late to make all of this right
I can’t tell you how sorry I am when I see how hard you’ve had to fight

If I had all the money in the world
And nothing to give you but time
And it all were laid at my feet
Things might have been better
But all I have are these arms to hold you
And a promise to love you forever I wish it were more.
I’m praying it will be enough
