To The One I Loved The Best

If I could, I'd forfeit my life for you,
You gave me understanding, you stood tall,
I see your face so innocent and true.

In those turbulent years you were the glue,
You were white picket fence, I, downtown brawl,
If I could, I'd forfeit my life for you.

If God is in Heaven, you're in his queue.
Your sweet name will be subscribed on that wall,
I see your face so innocent and true.

If I could conjure you back into view,
I would stand up for you, never to crawl,
If I could I'd forfeit my life for you.

But I cannot and that that gives me the blues,
Sometimes I want to sit down and bawl,
I see your face so innocent and true.

A nomadic life was all that I knew,
I think back to those days when I was small.
I see your face so innocent and true,
If I could I'd forfeit my life for you.
