Thought You'd Be Here
~Wes King
We thought you'd be here by now
your Mother and I
We're praying through our
tears that somehow
We might hear your sweet cry
Have we waited to long
It's getting harder to be strong
Is there something we've done wrong
But if you like dancing
I'll make it rain rhythm
and rhyme and melodies, child
And if you like dreaming
Your Mother will make your
imagination run wild
Somehow,
we thought you'd be here by now
We have a room just for you, upstairs
It's right down the hall
So we'll be close should
you ever get scared
We'll come when you call
It's a room full of stories
Waiting to be told
Longing to behold
And if you like laughing
I'll paint you a circus of smiles
and ferris wheels, dear
And if you like living
Your Mother will fly you
to worlds both far and near
Somehow....
I never knew the silence
could make me so deaf
I never knew that I could
miss someone I never met
Miss someone I haven't met yet
We'll be waiting
