~Starts out, Jonny is walking along the side of a long bridge towards the
center of a large city. Cars rush by brushing a stinging wind across his
cheek. Alone, Jonny sings~
Jonny sings: It was an early summer day,
But it seems like just yesterday
When mama looked right in my face,
And told me she was goin' away
~Jonny diggs his hands down deeper into his pockets~
If I could count all the tears that I cried,
I'd be empty and lost inside
So I'll try to find a smile,
~Jonny looks down towards the pavement~
And hold my head up high
~Jonny looks back up~
Mama said don't cry,
I'm goin' away up high
~Jonny pulls a picture of Rachel out of his pocket~
Don't be afraid
Be strong
Just keep holding on
Mama said don't cry
~he turns the picture over and over in his hands~
Dry all the tears from your eyes
Don't be afraid
Be strong
Just keep holding on
So young, but yet so wise
So much beauty was in her eyes
::Jonny wipes a tear away from his eye~
No one could try to explain
Just why she had to face the pain
::fades to image of a much younger Jonny standing beside Benton and a doctor~
But when the day comes and hits your time
Only God knows the reason why
She was my angel, my light, my friend
::fades to Rachel holding Jonny on her lap in the Hospital::
But one day we'll be togther again
~Jonny quickly glances upwards~
But now that I know
That I know
She has gone away
There were days that I wish I could run away
::fades to image of Jonny yelling at his dad s Benton catches him sneaking
outside~
And if there would be another summer day
When I could see my mama's face again
Cause mamma said,
Don't cry
~Jonny places the picture back into his pocket~
Dry all the tears from your eyes
Don't be afraid
Be strong
Just keep holding on
~Jonny grasps onto the railing on the side of the bridge~
Cause mama said
Baby don't ya cry
Dry all the tears from your eyes
Don't be afraid
Be strong
Just keep holding on
~his cheeks start to redden~
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Gone away Gone away Gone away
Run away Run away Run away
Summer day Summer day Summer day
Will see my mama's face again
~as Jonny looks over the side, fade to black~
Yeah, a shortie, but I wanted to do it. :-)
