Refrain from “Vanishing” by Mariah Carey and Ben Margulies.

You always cared for me, loved me,
always wanted the best for me.
You had to move away from us,
but you never let us forget your love
for us. You took that bus all the way
to where you had to be.

You’re fading out of my sight, swiftly
You’re vanishing, drifting away.

I was too little to remember. Too little
to comprehend what happened.
You were gone so soon, but I knew that
I wasn’t alone. Mother said you went to help your
father. That he needed you more. But I longed for
you to be there with me.
Mother told me that this wasn’t the end, that
I would soon see you once again.

You’re fading out of my sight, swiftly
You’re vanishing, drifting away.

It’s been seven years since I last saw you.
but it’s been a year since you were forced
back to Mexico. I’m still unclear as to why
you’re over there. I want you to know that my
love for you continues to grow everyday.
I still pray to see you again.

You’re fading out of my sight, swiftly
You’re vanishing, drifting away.
