AFRAID

" A VERY OLD SONG OF MINE THAT HASN'T BEEN FIXED UP SINCE I 1ST RECORDED IT BACK IN THE LATE 90's..........ONE DAY I WILL RECORD IT AGAIN WITH JUST PIANO AND STRINGS WITH A FEMALE LEAD VOCALIST...........IT HAS A HIGH VOCAL RANGE SO IT WOULD SUIT A FEMALE BETTER.................I HAVE BEEN ASKED MANY TIMES TO FINISH THIS SONG AND PERFORM IT LIVE BUT I NEVER GOT AROUND TO FIXING IT.....I FEW PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN MEANINGS BEHIND THIS SONG OR WHAT IT SAYS TO THEM..THATS THE GOOD THING ABOUT A SONG LIKE THIS.....IT MEANT SOMETHING TO ME WHEN I WROTE IT BUT TO OTHER PEOPLE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT MEANING......"

I CLOSE MY EYES, I SEE YOU THERE,
IT'S BEEN SO LONG THAT I CAN REMEMBER,
THOSE DAYS WE SHARED,I THINK BACK TO WHEN,

SEEN THE TEARS IN YOUR EYES,YOU COULD NEVER DISGUISE,
BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE DREAM THAT KEEPS ME ALIVE,
AND THAT'S THE DAY THAT I GET,TO SPEND WITH YOU,

* JUST ONE MORE NITE IN YOUR ARMS,
JUST ONE MORE DAY,RIGHT THERE BY YOUR SIDE,
AND THAT'S ALL IT'S GONNA' BE,

IT'S ALL THAT I PRAY FOR NOW,
YOU SEEM EVERYWHERE TO ME SOMEHOW,
BUT I ALWAYS FEEL AFRAID,

THOSE GAMES WE PLAYED,OUT IN THE YARD,
HOW THE TWO OF US, CAME APART,
IT SHAKIN'S ME,TO KNOW YOU'VE GONE,

STILL LIFE'S BEEN KIND,IT'S TREATED ME SO,
SO MUCH TO LOOK FOR,AND FURTHER TO GO,
FROM THOSE DAYS WE SHARED,I THINK BACK TO WHEN,
