LYRICS
\nDon’t know if I can put to tune
\nAll of (your) life’s ruin
\nBut it’s coming to me
\nYou help me see
\nWhat it means to be<\/p>\n
Wont’ forget:
\nCherish every moment
\nWon’t be long
\n’til it’s gone
\nWon’t regret
\nA single moment
\nJust as long
\nAs I write your song
\nFor you to listen to
\nHelp ease the pain
\nFor yours and you, too
\nHelp staying sane<\/p>\n
Don’t know if I can put to tune
\nAll of (your) life’s ruin
\nBut it’s coming to me
\nYou help me see
\nWhat it means to be<\/p>\n
Written at the corner of High and Market Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA, after two sisters approached me with a request. The one’s son had committed suicide a month prior. Could I play something for him… he liked Led Zeppelin. So, I played a couple Zeppelin songs:<\/p>\n
“Throw me a line; If I reach it in time; I’ll meet you up there; Where the path runs straight And high”<\/p>\n
“No, cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good… All last night sat on the levee and moaned… Thinkin’ ’bout my baby and my happy home”<\/p>\n
When I finished, they were both crying. Then they asked, “Can I hug you?” After they left, I wrote this song for her son, Tommy.<\/p>\n
