If I Had Known

If I had known the sacrifice
I left with Sam that day
In that band of gold you wear
Since I have gone away
I would have never asked of you
To bear the lonesome weight
Of all the pain within your heart
Upon my destined fate
Resting near your beating heart
Through all these long long years
I know its brought you comfort
And sheltered all your tears
But the time has finally come
And your healing soon must end
For I have waited all too long
On your return to me my friend
So as the days pass slowly by
Know you're not alone
Since I've always been here waiting
For the day you shall come home
