"If You Could See the Real Me"

If you could see the real me

when I was young and free,

falling in love with a girl

my darling Suzie May,

to kiss away a tear

as man and wife,

married there

that day.



But through the difficult years

our fears for a kiss to heal,

the best news today

waiting for the birth,

a happy birthday

for two babies,

by the bay

in May.



I proposed on my knees in our new home

I will obey cherish and treasure you,

my one and only blond lady

to build a cottage of love,

for our two children

and a pet to play,

hide and seek

away.



Now

the memories,

from a day in hospital,

for me and the two children,

there by the church where we prayed

in the beginning God bless our dear mother,

that we may understand she’s in heaven today

waiting and praying for us to return home for her.
