This song, I have actually set to music, played, and sung. And recorded. (Just so you know, YES, I can sing. And play guitar and piano.)

I smile

At you

Ask you to play with me

You say

You're too old for guessin' games

And I

Guess that it's true

Now.

But I re-me-ember

Goin' to work with you

A shop on the corner

We'd stop and get snow cones and talk about

Nothing.

Oh I re-me-ember

I'd ride my bike to your shop

And you'd worry about me

But I'd have to do it

'cause I always hated how

You weren't at home

Anymore.

Oh I re-me-ember

Music on the back porch

I never was much good at dancin'

But you'd

Still

Twirl me around

Yeah I re-me-ember

The smile on your face

The sparkle in your eyes

The sound of your laugh

And fragmented

Goodbyes.

But now

You pull away

When I try to hold you close

Even though

All I want

Is for you to stay

And every

Word that you say

So critical

Breakin' my heart

But I re-me-ember

I'd sit on your lap

And people'd pass by

And they'd always say 'she's got her daddy's eyes'

And I did

Yeah I did

Oh I've got my daddy's eyes

But now you're

Broken

Inside

And

Sometimes

I wish you would die

Because

I know that that's what you

Want.

But at night

In my dreams

It's worth it to know you're alive

Cause you come

Back to me

A smile in your blue eyes

Tellin' me

I'm bein' silly

Cause you never left

And we will

Always be

Perfectly fine

Cause I Re-me-ember

That I

Still love you

And somewhere

Inside of you you're still you

And I know

No matter

Where

We

Go

I'll keep you here

Inside of me

Just like

You used to be

Cause I've got

My daddy's eyes

And I know

Even when they cry

That they're a

Part of you

And so

When I try to hold you close

But you pull away

When all that I want is for you to stay

But sometimes

I hold your hand

And you take me to wonderland

With you

I miss you

But I know

I've got my daddy's eyes

So I never really have

To say goodbye.

Just know

That all I that want from you

Is for you stay

Stay with me daddy

Please never go

Just stay

Here

All that I want is for you to stay
