The bed not made
A shoe left in the drive
Forgot to feed the dog
Water still running in the yard
Can’t find your belt
Forgot your chores
Hung up the phone
Oh and did you close the door?
Echoes of these ring in my head
Did I tell you as well
I love you so?..
I’m proud of you?
Funny this thing called life
Saying this and saying that
Now that your gone
The echoes ring in my head
The words that mean a lot you know
Are the times I told You my Son
That I Love you so
I’d gladly trade
All the parental woes
That seemed important at the time
For the chance to give you a Hug and a Kiss
To tell you I Love You so..
