ANDRE’S SONG
(Written and Composed by Michael Drive)
I can’t remember why you had to leave us
I was too young to even realize
But something happened later on between us
Do you hear me daddy? You don’t need to cry
I still remember when you came to see me
I was eleven in a state of grace
Was it hard to see the one who raised me?
And that you couldn’t be the one to see me grow everyday
And I want you to know
Though it’s so long ago
That I still love you anyway
‘Cause it’s nice to be… it’s nice to see… your face
And so I flew across the sea to find you
I saw those tears well up inside your eyes
Tell me, did you think I always would reject you
I don’t care to be the one to see you never again
And I want you to know
Though it’s so long ago
That I still love you anyway
‘Cause it’s nice to be… it’s nice to see… your face
I never knew you but you are just like me
The love of music’s just one thing that sets us free
So why don’t you play your piano and I will sing and play guitar
And maybe we’ll hear it on the radio
And so I see you’re living back in the homeland
I feel a longing to return there myself
Tell me does your music speak of long lost sons and…
Do your stories bleed of you and me together again?
And I want you to know
Though it’s so long ago
That I still love you anyway
‘Cause it’s nice to be… it’s nice to see… your face.
Nice to see your face
