As If We Never Said Goodbye

I saw Kurt’s version of this song in GLEE a year ago, and I thought “why not give it a try.” Let me know if you like my version. 🙂

Taking Time — Happy Fathers’ Day!

I’m taking the time to stop
And think about you
I try and think of good memories
Of special times
Of unforgettable moments

You probably think
That I don’t care
Nor appreciate you
For what you do
For I have not made an effort
Like this, for you, before

Don’t get me wrong
You and I, we have always been good
I can’t think of a time where I felt
That you weren’t just
Or reasonable enough to understand
But you see, I love you so much
And I don’t think you truly understand that

Let me open up myself
And tell you from deep within
Let me show you
And make you feel
What I truly feel
Let me sing for you again
Songs of beautiful memories
I love you, Pa!
Yes, I do.

I remember those times
The very times when
You had to downplay yourself
To be the cool one
To keep the family going

From a far, I was watching you
And felt your pains
The hurt that you so bravely
And heroically turned into
Positive outcomes
The fact we are still intact today
One family,
We owe it to you

So thank you for your great love
Love that you probably
Tried to show to us in ways
That you know
I’ve got to tell you
You weren’t expressive too, you know
But deep inside I know you do
I’ve always felt it in silence

So let me open up myself
And tell you from deep within
Let me show you
And make you feel
What I truly feel
Let me sing for you again
Songs of beautiful memories
I love you, Pa!
Yes, I do.

Daily Prompt — Slice of Life

This is a scanned photo of Xavier University College Glee Club ten years ago. We were preparing for a big concert back then, and we needed photos for our poster and other concert paraphernalia. Hmmm…try to look for me in the photo. It should be easy.

Anyway, I had beautiful memories with this group. I enjoyed every performance we did. Wish I could travel back in time and sing with them again.

Have a blissful week, my friends!
