THINK OF ME SOMEDAY

Denise N.

Nash

I found my f i n g e r s reaching for t h e dreams behi nd your e y e s , I found my heart was yearning, for the s o f t n e s s o f our l i v e s . I know not what you f e e l for me, or f f you even do, For t h e o n l y time you hold me, i s when I make l o v e t o you.

Standing on a mountain s i d e , I jumped i n t o tomorrow, B u t then I heard your words o f l o v e , i n time I h a d borrow. B u t when I opened u p my eyes and found i t s t i l l today, I could on1 y dream t h a t you would say, these words t o me someday. I don't know what i t i s , t h a t you would want

t o change o f me, Naybe I'm n o t what you want, or i t ' s not meant t o b e , I know 1 have my u p s and downs, and b i t t e r n e s s sometimes shows, And why we h u r t t h e ones we l o v e , I guess God o n l y knows. So I guess I'm on my way again, one more road I 'we never seen, And not 1 ook back a t places l e f t , or whoever I have been, S t i l l I ' l l c a r r y your memory w f t h me, you're a p a r t o f my l i f e And on some windy evening, you might hear me i n t h e n i g h t For I know I have t o leave you now, there seems no o t h e r way 1 Yet the times we shared were b e a u t i f u l , think of me someday.
