23. There Is Always A Song...

There is always a song that describes how you feel. I guess that's why music is big business.

From the Chi-Lites (with some slight edits to describe my feelings more accurately):

Ten months ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks alone
To the movies - maybe to the park

And have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play (huh)
You know, tomorrow is their future
But to me, just another day

They all gather around me
They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain

I know I can't hide from a memory
'Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I lied

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street, and even at the picture show
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on the radio
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Why, oh, why
Did she have to die and go away (oh, god)

Oh-oh-oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And now I'm lost
Baby, I'm so lost (Oh)

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know
I'm still a lonely man
You know, it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand

Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)


I will never stop loving you, Debbie, my soulmate.
