A Life

From the day you are born

On the first day you cry

To the safe place you sleep

In the cot where you lie

On that first day at school

Where you struggle and try

From the first girl you kiss

On that day that you left

Sometimes we’re only supposed to look and not see

But each of us is, as we are supposed to be

If it wasn’t for you

And if it wasn’t for me

Then our meeting would never have come to pass
