When the Music Fades

When The Music Fades
For my children
Lightly based on Heart of Worship
By Chris Tomlin

When the music fades

and you have walked away,

that is when I know…

that you have brought to me

something that's of worth

and you have touched my heart.

I'm seeing you in my memory

so small in my arms

having no idea

who you would become my child.

I'm sorry love for the times I've failed you

but you're my pride and joy

and I will love you always.

When you leave my house,

and go into the world,

it kind of breaks my heart

But I know you'll find

all the ways that you can be

a blessing to this earth.

I'm happy love for the joys you'll share in

the adventures you will take

and things you'll learn out there

But I'll be waiting here every time you come home

because it's just too quiet

when your music fades

away.
