This is a song I wrote myself during a dark time period in my life. At the time I was having night-terrors
that my mother is or was dying and it honestly made me very depressed in the real world. I have a very
strong connection with my mother and I was devastated when I kind of stepped back and realized that one day
my mother will pass away and it will devistate me. Im no longer having these issues but I still wanted to
write this song so that I could have an emotional release whenever they arose again. My mother currently is
not actually dead but I still like conveying my emotions through music.
I understand nobody will know this song because it's not published. It's something that I personally wrote.
I'm mainly posting it in hopes of feedback on what I could do better in the future as a song writer as this is
my first song I have ever composed.
BELOW HERE IS THE ACTUAL SONG BEGGINING-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
C Am Dm Am
[Verse]
C I just wanna say that I miss you Am And all the stuff that we used to do Dm You cared for me so much Am Now my heart beats with a crutch C I just wish that I had told you Am When that I could still hold you Dm Everything that I'm grateful for Am Like sitting together on the beach shore
C Am Dm Am
[Chorus]
C I'm thankful for the life you gave me Am Wish that I was still your baby F Remember when you used to praise me Dm Now I visit where your grave stays C I'm thankful for the life you gave me Am I just hope that you still praise me F 'Cause every day I hope and pray Dm Just don't let me forget your face
C Am F Dm
[Verse]
C Now and then I still break down Am Wonder why it happened now Dm You were so young with love to give Am Can visit where you now live C But now day in and day out i grieve Am Wondering why that I still breathe Dm When you should be here instead of me Am You left me here oh so lonely
C Am Dm Am
[Chorus]
C I'm thankful for the life you gave me Am Wish that I was still your baby F Remember when you used to praise me Dm Now I visit where your grave stays C I'm thankful for the life you gave me Am I just hope that you still praise me F 'Cause every day I hope and pray Dm Just don't let me forget your face [Solo] C Am Dm Am e|-------------------------0-----------1-------------------------------------| B|-------------1--------1-----------3--------------1-------------------------| G|----------0--------2-----------2--------------2----------------------------| x4 D|-------2--------2-----------0--------------2-------------------------------| A|----3-----------------------------------0----------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[Chorus]
C I'm thankful for the life you gave me Am Wish that I was still your baby F Remember when you used to praise me Dm Now I visit where your grave stays C I'm thankful for the life you gave me Am Not a day goes by that I don't hate me F 'Cause I didn't say "I love you" enough Dm Am Now it makes my life so tough
