If only I could've said goodbye
to grandma on the day she died
And If only I could have held mommas hand
One last time before the end
papa never loved me so
I guess it was easy to let him go
my brothers and sisters have all moved away
but in this old house I'll sit and stay
always
remembering when momma was here
to sit with us and bring us cheer
granpa would come through the woods each day
to bring us cake and watch us play
the swing in the back
holds memories too
for grandma sat there
and sang to you too
I walk through this house
so tired and old
it creaks as I kneel to pick up whats old
things have been left
here on this floor
things from our youth
my old teddy bear
I hug him just like
I used to do
when you were 3 and I was too
this house I have ran through
screaming for cake
this lake I have swam in
with friends and snakes
i remember how I first drove
Toni laughed but I pulled through
friends I have been with
though momma disapproved
said they were silly
like me and you
I recall all the times
that relatives came
the dogs sat around
as I held grandpas cane
listening to stories of youth and refrain
as I sit in this house
I hear their voices again
and even though I know their all gone
I can't help but remember
this house at dawn
waking to the sunlight
to my brothers and dog
grandma was waiting
on the front lawn
momma would cook
and I would whine
but even now
I miss those times
after all is said and done
after we're left here all alone
we'll realize the way love goes
and miss those things
from so long ago
as I sit in this chair
that momma so loved
I cry on the arm
missing her so
as I sit in this house
I smell the good food
and weep some more
missing that too
and as I sit on this floor
so ragged with memories
I hear all the voices
of my past and my family
I listen to their voices
I've heard this before
and finally I see what I've missed
once more.
