Gail’s Song

Music & Lyrics by Mike
Date Unknown (Ed: 1983-85…ish)

Listen to me, sad and lonely
Tryin’ hard to sing the blues
(Well I got nothin’ left to lose)
Its hard for me to say goodbye to
Anybody I once knew
Its harder now that its you
I know that I will miss
The way we used to kiss
But don’t let it end like this
Don’t say goodbye…
…Don’t say goodbye

(Interlude)

I can’t hang on to memories
And dreams of how it used to be
(Hey, do you remember me?)
The “used-to-be’s” and “might-have-been’s”
They just will not let me be
But I’ve got to set me free
If there’s a God someplace
I pray he’ll grant the grace
For me to walk away
And not look back…
… And not look back

(Interlude)

Remember what I tried to show you?
Remember how I made you smile?
(If only for a while)
I never dreamed that I could hurt you
By what I didn’t know
I only wanted you to grow
So I’ll sing our final song
In hopes I won’t be wrong
Someday you may recall
That I loved you…
… That I loved you.
