"Older and Far Away"
Here’s the beginnings of a song. Three guesses as to who it’s about…
by Alan Lettyou were mine
you were beautiful
you were someone I could always look up toyou were real
you were good to me
you were there for me no matter what I’d been throughI won’t say I miss you
‘cuz you broke my heart
I’ll just say I loved you
right from the startyou were everything to me
my heart belonged to you
you were just what I needed
you were everything to me
and now we’re through
I should have seen it
now all you are to me today
is older and far away.you were strong
you were like a dream
you were never gonna let me let you goI’m not saying I want you here
‘cuz even if I did
I’ve spent all this time regretting
that I ever let you inyou say you never meant it to be
well I’ve got cause to doubt you
yesterday it was you and me
now it’s me without you© 2005 Alan Lett, Letthead Publishing
