Our Far Away Close Connection (song)

this is a song i wrote about my father who passed away a few years ago. its been on my mind lately though

(not sure of chords or name yet)

Verse 1:

 It is impossible to keep in touch with you

I can’t call you up or write a letter

I won’t get to see you for another lifetime

But the place you’re at is better

Chorus:

Though our connection is far away, it keeps us close.

If I told you how things were going you’d already know

So tell me how are things where you are

I know it seems so far

Won’t get to see me ride horses

Or play and sing in front of a crowd

But your spirit didn’t die with you

and you’re still here somehow

Verse 2:

 I don’t think it’s selfish to wish you were here

Well at least not in my eyes it isn’t

Sometimes I can feel your presence from a stranger

As if it’s you in disguise

Chorus:

Though our connection is far away, it keeps us close.

If I told you how things were going you’d already know

So tell me how are things where you are

I know it seems so far

Won’t get to see me graduate

Or walk your little girl down the aisle

But your spirit didn’t die with you

and you’re still here somehow

Bridge:

Wish you could see me riding

Wish you could hear your girl sing

Hear me tickle the ivories

Or strum on the strings

Verse 3:

Don’t you ever fear that you’ll be forgotten

You run through my veins

You’re a part of me that will never ever change

Stephen, Daddy

It keeps us close….

It keeps us close….

It keeps us close…

It keeps us close.
