SOUNDS OF LOVE

Those mornings that woke me up

Those nights that kept me staying up

I had never given it up

I remembered the worst lullabies I sang

That made me sleep before you rang

The time I would hear a bang

You would say something out of desperation

Explaining your bad action

I shook my head in exasperation

It was like a magic spell

You had grown up well

No more tales to tell

I sometimes missed the smell

When you were shouting like hell

But you rang me no bell

I longed for the lips

Landing on my cheeks

I longed for the body

Holding me close saying Daddy

I longed for those killing smiles

That drove me crazy

I longed for those healing smiles

That made me cozy

I needed no Michaelmas Daisy on September

Nor a bouquet of Valentine roses each year

I just wanted you to remember

Your words to your story-teller

Saying I would never leave you father

And I would love you ever after

Those words I would inspire

To live my life with no fear

Forgetting you, I never could

Even the moment I left for good
