What I Leave You
Here I am
Reminiscing
More years behind
Than there are ahead
What will I leave you
When I'm dead?
Footsteps swept away
Surf and sand
Or paths worn down
Take you by the hand
Showing a way
To the promised land.
Northwest Ohio
Homegrown pain
Green grass growing
In a Spring rain
Bare feet stomping
Water
Down a storm drain.
What I Leave You
When I'm gone
Visions of happiness
Written in a song
If only the words
Could hold you
Like a melody
All my own
Love will be my legacy
When you are all alone.
There you are
Manhood
My two sons
I remember
You growin’
In your mother's womb
Wonderin’
What life would be
With your eyes wide open
In a brand new world
That's what I Leave You
My sons
Memories and moments
In the sun.
Northwest Ohio
Homegrown pain
Green grass growing
In a Spring rain
Bare feet stomping
Water
Down a storm drain…
That's my dream
What I Leave You
When I'm gone.
