When He Was Here With Me

(Album: Pinocchio - 2022)

Maybe something here
A touch behind the ear
Not a boy, just a toy
For a puppeteer

Thinking way back when
I'm missing him again

Heart so young, songs unsung
Oh, what might have been

I see him in my dreams
So perfectly, it seems
If I could only make
These dreams come true

I may never find
This vision in my mind
Memory may hold the key
To feeling how I felt when he was here with me

There was so much laughter
But we couldn't see
Happily ever after was never meant to be
If only this could be more than a memory

But memory will have to be
The way this old man's eyes can see
Just how it really was
When he was here with me
