| IF YOU WERE HERE Father : "What is it, Annie." Daughter: "I miss you." If you were here I know that you would Truly 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: "How are you, tiger? This is great fun to be able to talk 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 (Father: Laughs) ringing in me now that you're somewhere else. Father: "I miss you a lot." 'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true Father: "Sharing with it some of my reflection." Singing inside me with the best parts of you Now that I'm here Father: "but I'm so proud of everything you do there. Love you most." I hope somewhere you hear it, too. Father: "Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to me." Now that I'm here Father: (Laughs) "Oh." I love you... It's okay you can go now |
