He grew and drew and you smiled
He built a glider in our living room,
Taught my brother to fly

He was smart
He was beautiful to you
To me

That's why we couldn't bear it
Though he'd never share it,
We heard him cry himself to sleep.


Chorus:
How His hands move

How the wheel turns
How clay softens
How exquisite


He left, you never stopped aching
He married, you gave disappointed congratulations

He was twice a father, two lovely daughters
And you glowed
You glow.

Until again, he will be a father
And you took a walk that night
You cried, ?He's unprepared!?

And you were scared,
So you took a walk that night
But his sister knows in her heart it will be all right


His sister knows in her heart it will be all right
And I do.

I know in my heart it will be all right.
