just one

where

where are you now
now that I know my heart
did I work this hard
just to be apart

where are you now
now that I understand
all the things you told me
when you held my hand
where are you now
where are you now
where are you now

this emotional giant
this pillar of health
I cry like a baby
cause I’m by myself

this enlightened man
this pillar of strength
to have you back beside me
I would go to any length

It’s a cruel irony
emotional health
work so hard on us
end up by myself

I’ve got so much more now
my therapists say
I’d trade it all right now
for just one yesterday

where

I woke up at about 4 am and wrote the line, "where are you now?"

then I tried to sleep but tossed and turned.
finally, at about 7, I got up, made a cup of tea, and sat down at the piano.
by 10 I had the words.
by 4 pm I had it recorded. And, I haven't changed it since.

I have no more tears to cry.
I have cried over you for years.
I can't cry any more.

whoever said, "it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all", obviously never loved anyone the way I love you.

I would gladly trade everything, everything I have, for one day of us together the way we were.

I miss you my sweet love.

there is a hole inside me that is exactly your size.
