Mary Jane Oct 2009
(A Song)
1
Inside this heart of mine
I’m dying just a little more each day
And I just had to write you, one more time
Let’s call it ‘one for the road’ ok?
And while the seasons turn
And the highways bend
This broken heart of mine
May learn to mend
But I believe someday
You’ll come back again,
But if you can’t, I’ll understand
But what I wanted to say,
Was baby…
Chorus:
I will remember you
Long after this world is through
As long as eternity
You’ll always be a part of me
And every time it rains
All I have to do
To make the sun shine through
Is just remember you
Mary Jane
2
You were the only one
Who turned my dreams into reality
But my dreams always seem to be on the run
I guess that’s just the way
That dreams were made to be
Sometimes I think
That I understand
Sometimes I just don’t know
Where I am
Oh what I’d give right now
For one last touch
Of your hand
Just one more night
To hold you tight
But if that’s not how it’s planned
Baby…
Chorus:
I will remember you
Long after this world is through
As long as eternity
You’ll always be a part of me
And every time it rains
All I have to do
To make the sun shine through
Is just remember you
Mary Jane

Now all that’s left are these
Photographs I keep inside my mind
They may be yesterdays’ memories
But they’re all I have of what we left behind
I know I’m living in
The past it’s true
But that’s the only place
I can be with you
And if you change your mind
I’ll be there when you do
While there’s a chance
I must take it
But just in case
You can’t make it
Baby…
Chorus:
I will remember you
Long after this world is through
As long as eternity
You’ll always be a part of me
And every time it rains
And I’m feeling blue
Each time the sun shines through
I will remember you
Mary Jane

I very much like this piece. It speaks of love, and the patience to wait, perhaps in vain for the return of the one loved. A bit different from the usual on here, and that I believe makes it special. Very nice indeed!

Absolutely beautiful. Speaks to anyone who has loved and lost, and continued loving and waiting even after the photographs are so faded you can barely remember what they looked like to begin with.
Heart wrenching and beautiful. -

"I know I'm living in
The past it's true
But that's the only place
I can be with you"
Memory is a wonderful thing...it holds amongst other things, treasures of immeasurable beauty....love being no exception.
Beautifully expressed feelings and thought.

...one for the road!
and while I've heard that before this one takes on a whole new meaning with your sweet song of remembrance. I liked it and it reminds me just how love finds a way into a heart and there's no U-turn from that. I hope you have a tune for these lyrics and you'll start singing them for your fictional friend. j
