13 Years

13 Years

13 years have past us by
And I have found you on my mind
I now know what you told me was right
I was blinded, by your sight
There’s more to someone than meets the eye
And now I wish that I could cry
for all this pain inside of me
I just can’t
I just can’t seem, to get free

10 years past and I came back
I was looking for someone
The woman I met after we broke up
Reminded me to have fun
I knew this woman had loved me 
I knew she would do almost anything
I knew I needed something more in my life
And so, I gave her, a ring

She had two kids already
And then we had one of our own
I thought we had a happy family
Until I realized


Then I saw you standing there
My dreams came back to me
You are the one that taught me ‘bout love
U N C O N D I T I O N A L Y

So 13 years have past us by
And still I have you on my mind
I now know what you told me was right
I was blinded, by your sight
There’s more to someone than meets the eye
And now I wish that I could cry
There’s so much more to you I didn’t realize
I hate to say goodbye
I hate to say goodbye, again
Will you stay here by my side
Will you stay here

And if you can’t stay here with me
You can stay here on my mind, (You can stay here on my mind)
And if you can’t stay here with me
You can stay here on my mind (You can stay here on my mind)
And if you can’t, stay Cherie…

You will stay here on my mind

And forever, in my heart
