Wrote this one on first fathers' day without dad. Playing his green rickenbacker and the song came very quickly. Love and miss him dearly.
Started the whole project. Love em while they are here!
lyrics
Can I see you?
Can I Touch You?
Are you there among the stars?
Can You see us?
Gazing upwards
Trying to make some sense of it all.
( chorus) It's so hard to understand
That the simple touch of a hand
And your gentle smile
wont pass this way again
The sun came out today
Your green guitar to play
But something big is missing
It's not a card or a fathers' day call
The sky's never really supposed to fall
Without you, Life's never going to be the same
( bridge ) You always said " just do the best you can "
So that's what we'll do and I'm sure you'll understand
So we all hop into the car
Low on gas, who knows how far
this journey we call life will take us on
It takes big shoes to fill ( I know )
The little ones wobble and then they go
to the future and a brand new day
When "Promoted to Glory" well be looking for your hand
On that fine day, We will all meet again!
