My Little Brother Gary died at young age of 49. He left Behind a great ex-wife and fabulous daughter. This is a song I took from my conversations with him while he was in the grips of addiction to alcohol and trying to recover.
lyrics
“Someone Like You”
By Robert Louis Crane “For Amanda “ 8-16-13
From my conversations with Gary
Verse 1
Well if you don't know, just to be safe that it's clear , if you've a lingering doubt, in the wake of my tears the best thing in my life, was to be loved …by someone like you
Chorus
If I didn't tell you, if I didn't show you,
you need to know you are more than I ever deserved
wish I could give you back all the time I stole away, it's what I’ll regret ...to my last day
Verse 2
It wasn't your choice, you had nowhere to turn, you were the cool winter rain ,
on the bridges I burned...was it my dumb luck, or some beautiful fate
to be loved...by someone like you
Verse 3
the wounds were too deep , they just never healed ,
whatever I lost, I just tried not to feel,
behind a brave face, You hid all the pain, I take the blame , I take the blame
Chorus
If I didn't tell you, if I didn't show you,
you need to know you are more than I ever deserved
wish I could give you back all the time I stole away, it's what I’ll regret ...to my last day
Verse 3
So twisted the road , that has been my life,
it didn't turn out quite like they told me it might,
I don't understand why God up above would let me be loved …
By someone like you
Repeat Verse 1
Well if you don't know, just to be safe that it's clear, if you've a lingering doubt, in the wake of my tears, the best thing in my life, was to be loved …by someone like you
Someone like you
