HERE WITH ME

oh how I miss you so
you’re away avoidin’ 40 years in the mine
oh I’ll be I’ll be home tonight
so you left me here, while you’re fightin’ for the freedom of your GI bill
with the promise, the promise that you’ll be alright
do thoughts of me,
help to keep you brave and, find a comfort in your fears

Chorus
oh you are here with me in my dreams all night
as we cruise, ‘round the country square
oh you are here with me as I relive our life
and the time, you kissed me on a dare
I sleep through the blue, I’m so missing you

sometime I need a drink
but I know there’s a snake trapped in the jug
oh do I make me a whisky honeymoon
oh I’m lovesick mad, feel like a shootin’ last years fireworks
the ones that you said, we’d flame up this comin’ June
do thoughts of me, help to keep you brave and, find a comfort in your fears

Chorus

time will have ta pause with my feeling, in a sigh
waiting to smile as I get by

I watch our apple tree
swayin’ in an old hometown thunderstorm
is it luck then, that keeps it from a comin’ down
how can you be strong, when you’re away from everything you’ve ever known
as I drift off, to sleep here in my wedding gown
do thoughts of me, help to keep you brave and, find a comfort in your fears
