You broke the law,

And committed a crime.

You're going away, And doing your time.

But I'll see you again,

When you're at my door,

We've always been friends,

And that's, what friends, are for.

 

Chorus #1

I'll see ya when I see ya,

Whenever the time may be.

I'll see ya when I see ya,

Whenever you are free.

 

You shattered our dreams,

When you broke your vow,

Someday I'll forgive,

But not just now.

The wounds will heal,

'Cause we're not through.

We'll both grow up,

And that's, what grown ups, do.

 

Chorus #2

I'll see ya when I see ya,

Whenever the time may be.

I'll see ya when I see ya,

Whenever I'm ready, you'll see.

 

You left this earth,

Like we all must do.

I'll be coming to join you,

When my time is through.

You're in a better place,

So near, yet so far.

But still mothering me,

And that's what mothers, are.

 

Chorus #3

I'll see ya when I see ya,

Whenever the time may be.

I'll see ya when I see ya,

When it's meant to be.
