Cheeku,
This is the month when you were born…this is the time of the month you were waiting so impatiently inside your mom to burst out into the world and conquer the hearts of all who you would touch…
And when my friend sent me these lyrics to remind me of another way of waiting to meet you some day-“Though it’s about another kind of missing, you may find it soothing in a difficult month”-I could feel the chords touch me deep within…this time it seems that you’re already home while I am still travelling…
“When I need you”
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I’m with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It’s only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can’t take the place of your smile
But you know I won’t be travelin’ forever
It’s cold out but hold out and do I like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I’m with you
And all that I so wanna give you babe
It’s only a heartbeat away
It’s not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that’s a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won’t be traveling a lifetime
It’s cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh, I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
Just close my eyes
And you’re right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day
So true…and so beautifully sung by Luther Vandross!
Dad
