I'll Leave Something Good Behind - Barbara Mandrell

Well, at times it’s been a fight

But I’ve tried to do what’s right

Even when everything went wrong

I still believed that we would make it

You put your tiny hand in mine

And I look in your trusting eyes

Knowing that love will see us through

But if my life should end tomorrow

I know you’ll be the living proof

And, I’ll leave something good behind

You sweet child of mine

You’ve made my life worth living

And when all my earthly days are through

I’ll leave here knowing I did what I came to do

And when I say goodbye I know that

I’ll leave something good behind

Well, at times it’s been a fight

But I’ve tried to do what’s right

Even when everything went wrong

I still believed that we would make it

It hasn’t always turned out like I planned

But I’ve done the best I can

To help you someday face the world alone

And after I’ve been long forgotten

You’ll be my legacy of love

And, I’ll leave something good behind

You sweet child of mine

You’ve made my life worth living

And when all my earthly days are through

I’ll leave here knowing I did what I came to do

And when I say goodbye I know that

I’ll leave something good behind

Yes, when I say goodbye I know that

I’ll leave something good behind
