lyrics

You were a flower cut before her time / It isn’t yours, it isn’t mine / To say how or when we return home / We need your love to warm our hearts / Send a light into the darkness in their minds they feel / A daughter torn

Oh Ashley look at what you’ve done for me / You want me to believe / You want her to believe / Oh Ashley can’t you see you set me free / A miracle to hold onto / A tiny glimpse for all to see / For all to see

So they need to know there was a time / A task undone, you were in line / To serve, to give the love / You love so free / To be an angel in disguise / We cannot see with earthen eyes / That by the love you gave / You set him free

Oh Ashley look at what you’ve done for me / You want him to believe / You want her to believe / Oh Ashley can’t you see you set them free / A miracle to hold onto / A tiny glimpse for all to see / For all to see

So we need your love to understand there was a time, there was a plan / And you had the strength to lend a hand / You pushed your life aside to be / A guiding light that all can see / And that is what you told me in the dream

Oh Ashley look at what you’ve done for me / You want him to believe / You want her to believe / Oh Ashley can’t you see you set them free / A miracle to hold onto / A tiny glimpse for all to see / For all to see
Oh Ashley / Oh Ashley / Oh Ashley / Oh Ashley / Ashley, Ashley
