A Part of You…
Do you know how much I Love you?
Do you know how much I miss you when
You’re not around? I know that we talk
SomeTymes for hours, but that doesn’t
Quench my desire to have you as an
Integral part of my life. When we are
Together I know how close we are, but
When we are apart I know we are together
In spirit. Simple songs can remind me of
The days when we lived together as a
Family. Although we have gone our own
Separate ways and live our own separate
Lives, I know that we’re not ever that
Far from home. Home that wonderful
Place where we can spend our Tyme
Together just talking or sharing a
Wonderful meal. You always keep the
Conversation lively and when the talking
Turns to serious matters, I know we’re
There for each other’s support. Never
In my life have I known a Love so strong
As the one we share together - that bond
Of parent and child that keeps us close
Regardless of where life leads us. No
Matter where we go I am so happy to be
A part of you.
A Sad Song
SomeTymes I just feel so all alone,
Like I’m here, but nobody is home.
I start to crumble and I start to cry,
I hold my hands straight up to the sky.
I think about you but you’re not here,
Why you’re not is never quite clear.
I think about you all through the day,
You come around, but with nothing to say.
We used to be close, now were apart,
Seems it’s been that way from the start.
We had a strong Love nothing could break,
Now I’m here and my heart starts to ache.
I think about all the Love that I miss,
It started out with one little kiss.
We had it all when we would make Love,
I thought God sent you from heaven above.
I think about you when I can’t sleep at night,
I wish I knew how to make things all right.
We had our chance but you wouldn’t change,
So now it’s my life that I rearrange.
I would have done anything just for you,
I wanted you to know my Love is true.
I chose the right path, you chose the wrong,
It brings about a sad end to this song.
All Alone
Sad days follow sad nights all alone,
I wish that you’d call me on the phone,
I try to call but, you never write,
I wish that I could see
