But When I Look Back

Well I left today.
Without saying bye to you.
I hit the road.
For something new to do.

But when I look back.
To the town of yesterday.
I remember.
Your having a hard time too.

I don't remember.
The small things anymore.
Like who was winning.
Or who was keeping score.

But when I look back.
From the jungle where i am today.
I remember.
Not much about you.

It's getting old.
Being all alone.
I want to get back.
To the place I call home.

But when I look back.
To the troubles that were in my way.
I remember.
Those times we went threw.

And if time, was prime then baby would you be my sign.
And its for me, yes to be more like I am free..

Well I give up.
Trying to forget you.
I can forget.
Even with someone new.

But when I look back.
To the town of yesterday.
I remember.
Your having a hard time too.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
