IF YOU WERE HERE

if you were here
I know that you would
truely be amazed
at what's become of what you made
if you were here
you would know how I treasured every day
how every single word you spoke
echo's in me like a memory of hope

When you were here
you could not feel the value that I placed
one every look that crossed your face
when you were here
I did not know just how I had embraced
all that you hid behind your face
could not hide from me
cause it hid in me too

Father: hello tiger, it's fun, talking with you. like this--in fact I'm going to do it more often

Now that I'm here I hear you and wonder if maybe you can hear yourself
ringing in me now that your somewhere else.

father: I miss you alot

'cause I hear your strange music gentle and true

father: but I'm so proud of everything you do there

singing inside me with the best parts of you

father: next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to me

now that I'm here

I love you...

daughter: it's okay you can go now
