Children Of Eden movie - Hardest Part of Love lyrics
rate me<br>
NOAH<br>
<br>
Oh father please don't make me choose<br>
Either way it's more than I can bear to lose<br>
<br>
Oh this son of mine I love so well<br>
And all the toil it takes<br>
I'd give to him a garden and keep clear of snakes<br>
But the one thing he most treasures is to make his own mistakes ohhh<br>
He goes charging on the cliffs of life<br>
A reckless mountaineer<br>
I could help him not to stumble<br>
I could warn him what to fear<br>
I could shout until I'm breathless<br>
And he'd still refuse to hear ohhh<br>
<br>
But you cannot close the acorn<br>
Once the oak begins to grow<br>
And you cannot close your heart<br>
To what it fears and needs to know<br>
That the hardest part of love<br>
Is the letting go<br>
<br>
As a child I found a sparrow <br>
Who had fallen form the nest<br>
And I nursed him back to health till he was stronger than the rest<br>
But when I tried to hold it <br>
It would peck and scratch my chest <br>
Till I let it go<br>
And I watched it fly away from me<br>
With it's brightened self resolve<br>
And part of me was cursing I had helped it grow so strong<br>
And I feared it might go hungery and I feared it might go wrong ohhh<br>
<br>
But I could not close the acorn<br>
Once the oak began to grow<br>
And I cannot close my heart<br>
To what it fears and needs to know<br>
That the hardest part of love<br>
<br>
FATHER<br>
<br>
Is the letting go<br>
<br>
NOAH<br>
<br>
Is the letting go<br>
<br>
FATHER<br>
And it's only in Eden grows a rose without a thorn<br>
And your children start to leave you <br>
On the day that they were born<br>
They will leave you there to cheer for them<br>
They will leave you there to mourn ever so<br>
Like an ark on uncharted seas their lives will be tossed<br>
And the deeper is your love for them<br>
The crueler is the cost<br>
And just when they start to find themselves<br>
Is when you fear they're lost ohhh<br>
<br>
NOAH and FATHER<br>
<br>
But you cannot close the acorn<br>
Once the oak begins to grow<br>
And you cannot close your heart<br>
To what it fears and needs to know<br>
<br>
NOAH<br>
<br>
That the hardest part of love<br>
<br>
FATHER<br>
<br>
And the rarest part of love<br>
<br>
NOAH and FATHER<br>
<br>
And the truest is part of love<br>
Is the letting go <br>
<br>
<br>
