A sentimental song for my two beautiful granddaughters, Jasmine and Darcie. This is for when they leave home and I'm not around to be there for them.

lyrics

GROWING AWAY

NOW THAT YOU’RE LEAVING, NOW THAT WE’RE THROUGH
YOUR SUITCASE IS THERE BY THE DOOR, IT’S WAITING FOR YOU

NO TIME LEFT TO TELL YOU AND NO WORDS TO SAY
NOTHING TO KEEP YOU HERE AS YOU GO ON YOUR WAY

BUT THE MOMENT YOU STEP THROUGH THAT DOOR AND LEAVE ME ALONE
YOU’LL CARRY MY HEART WITH YOU AND ALL THAT I OWN

M8
BUT THIS MUCH YOU HAVE TO KNOW AND I DON’T HAVE TO SAY
HOW MUCH I HAVE LOVED YOU FROM THAT VERY FIRST DAY

SOLO VS2

I HELD YOU SO CLOSE TO ME FELT THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART
AND NOW YOU WILL GO AWAY, NOW WE MUST PART

AND THE YEARS PASSED SO QUICKLY AS IF THEY COULD FLY
YOU ARE THE JEWEL IN MY HEART THE STAR IN MY SKY

M8END
NOW YOU GO INTO THE NIGHT THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET
TAKING MY LOVE WITH YOU GIRL MY NOW WORK IS COMPLETE

SOLO OUT

Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
