Little Monster Man

from Acoustronika by Lawrence Collins

/

about

it took me three years to get this song out of me after dad's passing. When I was a kid, he used to call me his little monster man...

lyrics

Isn’t it strange how Time
seems to flow through our fingers,
I keep on hoping it will make things easier.
But even after all these years
I still wake up every morning with your face in my head…
Well, the pain dulls but doesn’t fade
I can still smell your skin,
I can still hear your voice,
I can still feel the silky touch
Of your hair on my cheek as your words echo-
when I need comfort, it’s you I hear
in the silence of my dreams…
Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye….

And when I pick her up in my arms
and she smiles that special smile
You used to keep for me-
Your voice calls out from deep inside…
It tears down the veil
that life has tried to drape across my broken heart…
She reminds me of you
And how good it is to feel alive.
Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye….

Now in the early hours,
I squeeze my eyes shut
to hold on to your face a little longer…
I need to hear more,
I need to hold your hand,
but, as you pull away, you whisper:
“goodbye my little monster man”
Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye….

Goodbye, goodbye until we meet again tonight…
Goodbye, goodbye, I will see you in my dreams tonight…
I miss you so… why did you have to leave so soon?
