I was only a girl
When I went out on my own
You wrapped me up warm

And just let me go
Now I live at the far end
Of this long distance line

And I'm just another one
Who's gone and left you behind


Wish we could look at your pictures
All the places you've been
I don't think you will

But you can see them again
'Cause you can see them through me
The brown eyes I got from you

Now I wish I could give 'em back to you

This much I can say

This much I can do
When your heart is empty
I'll try to fill it for you

'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love
From watching you


Wish that I could tell you
It'll all be all right
But you never did believe it

Through the trials of your life
You and I both know
It just isn't true

When so much you love
Has been taken from you


I remember when you told me
If we run out of time
How happy you were

Just to know she'll be mine
When I wrap her up warm
You'll be right next to me

'Cause they say that the red thread that ties me to you
Ties her to me


This much I can say
This much I can do
When your heart is empty

I'll try to fill it for you
This much I can say
This much I can do

When your heart is empty
I'll try to fill it for you
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to love

From watching you
Watching you
Watching you
