Chasing Friendship

We could have been real close you know If you'd given me one chance. I wanted to share so much with you Most of all, to be your friend. I came across the ocean to be here with your son Left family, friends and all I knew Just because I was in love. The first time that you met me Your mind you had made up That this girl was the wrong one And will never, be good enough. When I was all excited, Wanting to share my joy You just would sneer and turn away Each time it broke my heart in two. Do you have any idea what you did to me? All those years cold hearted and proud And telling tales behind my back I'm glad they all knew me better than that. I so longed for a mother Mine, too far away. We could have been the best of friends If only, yes if only. Now Anna on the day you died I sat and hummed you peaceful songs To help you on your way And as you took your last breath I was there being a friend That's all I ever wanted to be.
