[Intro]
"Theresa Thomason, folks, on vocals."

[Verse 1: Nicholas]
She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance

Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair!

[Chorus: Nicholas]
I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

[Verse 2: Nicholas]
Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate

"In loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide."
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died

[Chorus: Nicholas]
I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

[Bridge: Nicholas]
And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed

And I know what it's like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same

[Verse 3: Nicholas]
She wasn't given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife!

I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relieve the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last

[Outro: Nicholas]
The door has opened wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes!

[Spoken]
