I write music and lyrics. It's therapy for me. Here are two songs that I've written for my son. I have videotaped a part of the first song.
A Letter to the Universe
Hey it’s me
trying to sleep the whole night through
Well you see
dying to see his eyes so blue
I’ve been trying not to think about him
trying not to cry
I’ve been trying not to blame myself
but then why shouldn’t I?
I could hold his hand much tighter
I could sing him one more song
I could paint his world much brighter
give him reason to go on
so I’m calling out to you
can I try again?
Try again
let me...try again
I know...I know it’s been a while
I..I really miss his smile
Hey it’s me
trying to sleep the whole night through
Well you see
dying inside, well wouldn’t you?
All I do is think about him
All I do is cry
All I do is blame myself
but then why shouldn’t I?
Didn’t hold his hand near tight enough
Didn’t see he was afraid
Didn’t paint his world near bright enough
And I let him slip away
for my baby
can I try again
Try again
let me
Try again
I know...I know it’s been a while
Oh...I really need his smile
Just
the other day, while driving home
I
saw you on the street, but I looked away
in
that winter coat I bought last year
your
eyes they still looked cold, just like that day
and
I wonder do you ever think of me?
where’s
that little boy you used to be?
is
he gone for good?
‘cause
I haven’t given up on you
I
haven’t seen those eyes so blue
are
they gone for good?
‘cause
I’m still here
‘cause
I’m still here
In
this quiet house, your empty room
cobweb
reminders nagging me
if
I’d only let those shadows die
your
silence; your eyes that didn’t cry
and
I wonder do you ever think of me?
are
you still that boy you used to be?
don’t
be gone for good
‘cause
I haven’t given up on you
I
want to see those eyes so blue
don’t
be gone for good
no
I haven’t given up on you
just
let me see those eyes so blue
I’ll
be here for good
yes,
I’m still here
I’m
still here
yes,
I’m still here
