Missing someone is a sweet pain, especially around times when you would normally spend time with them. Thoughts naturally turn to all the fun times in the past and the promises of the future. This song is dedicated to one of the wonderful people I'm so lucky to have in my life.
THE BELL HAS RUNG
So long since I saw your face
52 weeks is too much space
I’m losing track of who you are
With one distant promise that’s way too far
CHORUS
The bell has rung
A dozen times
New Year songs sung
In time to chimes
When will we go
Beyond the pen
And share a joke again
You left me every yesterday
But I’d never stand in your way
I gave you life but it’s yours to lead
You give away so much love when it's you in need
CHORUS
I thought I’d let you go but I still worry so
Your future's not mine to explore
And I’ll see you soon one warm afternoon
So proud of the man I adore
CHORUS
