Rose Egan Poet Lyric

Goodnight From Where I Am

YOU WARM MY NIGHTS TO SAY THE LEAST, 
I’M HONORED YOU WERE MINE 
TO BE YOUR MOM AND SHARE THE TIME, 
THIS LIFETIME DID ALLOW 
I DIDN’T LEARN TILL YOU WERE GONE, 
THE ROLL YOU CHOSE FOR ME
LOOKING FROM WHERE I’M STANDING NOW, 
THERE IS SO MUCH I DIDN’T SEE
THIS TIME I PLANNED JUST FOR YOU, 
SO LISTEN CAREFULLY
I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD 
WHY YOU AMAZED ME SO, 
WAS IT IN YOUR EYES 
OR IN YOUR SMILE THAT 
ALWAYS CAPTURED ME
YOUR HANDSOME FACE, 
AND GENTLE KISS 
WHEN YOU WOULD SAY GOODNIGHT
SON, YOU LOVED EVERYONE
YOUR SPIRIT WAS SO KIND
SO,  IF YOU CAN SEE 
AND HEAR ME NOW
PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN
AND KNOW WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN
WHEN IT IS MY TIME
DEDICATED TO MY SON TOMMY
