Hardest Day of My Life

Verse 1:
I knew it was the right thing to do/
all I ever wanted was the best life for you/
I knew I couldn't raise you on my own/
after all every child deserves a two parent home/
but the day/
I gave you away/

Chorus:
It was the hardest day of my life/
giving you up/
how could a choice feel so right/
yet hurt so very much/
and I want you to know/
it wasn't easy to let you go/
it was the hardest day/
the hardest day of my life/

Verse 2:
I never want you to forget/
that you are someone I'd never reject/
I did it because I loved you/
and I still do/
and the day I gave you away/

Chorus:
Was the hardest day of my life/
giving you up/
how could a choice feel so right/
yet hurt so very much/
and I want you to know/
it wasn't easy to let you go/
it was the hardest day/
the hardest day of my life/

Bridge:
And as I looked into your eyes/
on that cold december night/
somehow I knew we'd be alright/
even on the hardest day of my life/

Verse 3:
Now I pray for you everyday/
that you will forgive me/
for the choice I knew I had to make/
and I know it won't always be easy/
but I pray that God will show you/
it was tough what I had to go through/
it was the hardest day/
the hardest day of my life.

I think it is brilliant and beautiful. What a tough subject. So many people take the "easy" way out and murder their child, but sometimes it takes true courage and sacrifice to make the right choice. I pray all is well in your heart and life.

Thank you! I am so thankful that my birth mother made the choice to give me up- I have a wonderful family! And it was an open adoption, so I get to see her once every year at least :)
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it!
Hope you are doing great!

I am a blessed man and am joyful to see HIS work in your life.

That one made me cry, especially knowing that it reflects a true story, and being a mother myself, it really hit home. It is commendable what your birth mother did.

Aw, I'm glad you liked it :)
Hope you are doing great!
God Bless :)

Wow. This is good. It strikes a chord in me.

Thank you so much! :)

Brave.  Thanks for sharing your song and your story.  Bless your birth mom and your mom and dad for the different ways they have greatly loved you.
