| The scene after the song was recorded. |
I lost my dad in the morning 3 years ago today (there was a full lunar eclipse the same evening). I wrote and recorded this song the night before (well into the early morning actually). It's called "Now that you're gone". It is done in a style that my Dad would have loved. He was a big fan of old time country music.
This one will be re-recorded and put onto the my new CD but you can download this version on my music page.
This is for you always Dad.......
Lyrics:
It was a long time since we first went fishin'
You took me to throw out a line.
It was a long ride, but now I've been wishin'
That we could just go one more time.
It's been a long day, been out in the fields,
but now I am on my way home.
Been working so hard, but that's just my way
I guess there ain't much left to say
I won't feel let down now that your gone
I'll try to be strong
I'll just do what you do,
and keep moving on
I'll be missing you
It's been a long time, but now that it's over
I think that I'll get me some sleep,
It's been a long day,
and I hope that there's sunshine
there at the moment you wake.
I won't feel let down now that your gone
I'll try to be strong
I'll just do what you do,
and keep moving on
The work is all done
I guess you're going home...
I won't feel let down now that your gone
I'll try to be strong
I'll just do what you do,
and keep moving on
We'll be missing you....
*insert a room full of people doing an old time waltz and slowly fading away* During the "da da da's"
