Adrienne Young - Leaving It Behind lyrics

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
