Song for Luke
Eyes of blue, I saw them in a photograph, evening hue, baby wide.
Look at me I’m the one who sired you.
Walk on by.
Walk on by.
Baby face, like looking in a mirror there.
I can see my eyes staring at me!
Featured looks sharing with the one who dares take you away from me.
And I say don’t you dare leave me this way.
Pale blue sky, memories of the day of birth.
Early hours till the late of the night.
Heavy sighs. Pain that leads to joyous mirth.
Blinking Eyes.
Blinking Eyes.
I can’t believe you’ll grow up without knowing me.
Cannot have what I so want to give.
I’ll recall the love I feel inside for you till I die.
Till I die.
And I say please don’t leave me this way.
The story ends.
But this song isn’t finished yet for I want you to be in my world.
Baby Luke I pray that you will not forget,
Daddy loves you.
Daddy loves you!
When the day arrives that you come to look for me,
I will wait with my arms open wide.
Hold you tight to make up for the time that we couldn’t share together.
And laugh and have fun!
You are still my son.
And daddy loves you!
Daddy loves you!
Daddy loves you!
(1986)
