You Taught Me Well

I remember September, the rain falling down

I thought the sun would never shine

I spent all my moments, I heard all the stories

Of you and your days gone by

And while I was listening, my mind it was drifting

Dreaming of the rainbows end

And in all my confusion, somehow you got to me

And I have to say you taught me well

Well into December, the snow falling down

I felt the cold wind through my door

I heard all the warnings, you brought to my bones

When ever a storm came by

And how I remember, that comfort and care

Something like we'd always known

And in all my confusion, somehow you got to me

And I have to say you taught me well

And how could I know, the words that you said

Would come back again and again

I didn't realize when I was your child

Just how the story would end

Blessed are those

You've loved and you know

They never see them again

But you know in your heart

They all left their mark

And you only hope you'll do the same

Then came the morning you walked out my door

I thought my heart would never mend

You spent all your seasons and gave me the reasons

To follow my rainbows end

Then hearts that would listen

To words born of wisdom

Never dreaming this would end

And in all my confusion, somehow you got to me

And I have to say you taught me well

And how could I know, the words that you said

Would come back again and again

I didn't realize when I was your child

Just how the story would end

And blessed are those

You've loved and you know

They never see them again

But you know in your heart

They all left their mark

And you only hope you'll do the same

But you know in your heart

They all left their mark...

And you only hope you'll do the same
