I’ll Leave Something Good Behind

Hillary Kanter

[Verse 1]
Oh, this world we're in today
Sometimes ain't a pretty place
But when I look at you, I see something beautiful
And in my heart I know there's a reason
You put your tiny hand in mine
And I look in your trusting eyes
Knowing that love will see us through
But if my life should end tomorrow
I know you'll be the living proof

[Chorus]
And I'll leave something good behind
You sweet child of mine
You make my life worth living
And when all my earthly days are through
I'll leave here knowing I did what I came to do
And when I say goodbye
I know that I'll leave something good behind

[Verse 2]
Well, at times it's been a fight
But I've tried to do what's right
Even when everything went wrong
I still believed that we would make it
It hasn't always turned out like I planned
But I've done the best I can
To help you someday face the world alone
And after I've been long forgotten
You'll be my legacy of love

[Chorus]
And I'll leave something good behind
You sweet child of mine
You make my life worth living
And when all my earthly days are through
I'll leave here knowing I did what I came to do
And when I say goodbye
I know that I'll leave something good behind

[Outro]
Yes, when I say goodbye
I know that I'll leave something good behind
