Time

She promised me forever when she said I do beneath the setting sun . I never thought that someday she would change and get the urge to run. Came home from work one day and everything was gone. Note on the table said she was tired of hanging on. Don’t try to follow me. There’s nothing to work out that empty house echoed my voice when I cried out … that

Time……. Is the only thing she left.me. Uh huh

And time …. is the only thing I have to remember her by. Not a damn thing on the wall she took it all but time….. is mine.

A few years later, I met someone we were wet and had a little girl… one day I was bouncing her and the next day she was ready to face the world. Came home from work one day. And all her things were gone. A note on the table said she had to make it on her own. Daddy, you never understand we never could see eye to eye. Silence in the house echoed my voice as I cried out…. that.

Time …. is the only thing she left me

And time…. Is the only thing I have to remember her by. No more laughter in the hall , no number I can call, ….. but time….. is mine.

I remember mama singing softly to me as I fall asleep The years went by and troubles left their mark on her brow so deep. …. Came home from work one day to a ringing telephone It was daddy at the hospital, saying son your mamas gone. I felt my heart stop and I said I’m on my way. I heard his voice breakdown as he began to say….. that

Time is the only thing she left me….. and time….. is the only thing I have to remember her by….. got pictures on the wall, but it’s just not the same at all but time…… is mine…. yeah, time….. is mine.
