Something about the way...
The love I feel for you is the standard by which all others should be measured
The love you share with me is a much appreciated treasure
Something about the way you tilt your head back,close your eyes and stand on your toes
I'll never understand why you picked me but at this point I hope and trust it continues and grows
Your about to leave me for a short space in time and I hope you and pray that I'll be on your mind
Come back to me and know this to be true
I am but a shell of a man and nothing without you
The love you share with me is a much appreciated treasure
Something about the way you tilt your head back,close your eyes and stand on your toes
I'll never understand why you picked me but at this point I hope and trust it continues and grows
Your about to leave me for a short space in time and I hope you and pray that I'll be on your mind
Come back to me and know this to be true
I am but a shell of a man and nothing without you

My daughter called me tommie...
We look for signs in all we do
It's a natural thing ...
Something god intended for us to do
I forget that sometimes as I try and find my way
But it's often the little things people do and say
My daughter called me tommie today
This by itself is no real feat; she eighteen months and it was kind of sweet
I'm big on this thing of staying true and I'm not trying to do it for you,you or you
The point is that no one living calls me by that name
So when Alivia said it ... I felt kind of strange
I thought who could have told her...

hunted/haunted no more
I was small in stature for a male child
Easy prey for those who were suppose to protect me
It hasn't been easy trying to develop a sense of right and wrong
I've had so many roadblocks but I think now ... I'm pretty strong
It's the autumn of my life and now ... I think I can give all just a little advise
Protect those who can't protect themselves
I've a daughter who's now two, who with just one look reminds me each day...do your job daddy so I can find my way
I don't need any extra shit to get in...
