Scene Five: Through Her Eyes

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
 I'm learning all about my life
 By looking through her eyes
 ♪
 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
 I'm learning all about my life
 By looking through her eyes
 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
 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
 Relive the anguish of my past
 To find out who I was at last
 The door has opened wide
 I'm turning with the tide
 Looking through her eyes
