Just As If You Were Here
by Terry Terrell

Album: My Journey

Verse 1
Poppa, I promised before
That I'd soon be home
But just like the other times
We're talking by phone
Life out here on the road
It's really not my home
I'm busy singing for folks
That I hardly know

Chorus
But I'll sing this song for you, Poppa
As if you were here
I'll close my eyes for a moment and disappear
And it will be like it used to be
Just you and me
Just as if you were here

Verse 2
Tears slowly fall down my face
As I stand be Mom's grave
She has been gone for so long
And now it's too late
Promises gone unfulfilled
As the years slipped away
I thought I had lots of time
What a sad price to pay

But I'll sing this song for you Mama….
Tag
Though the road get longer, the memories grow stronger
As the miles keep turning into years
This promise I'm keeping
That You'll be here with me
No matter how hard it may be and I sing…
