Home For You

A song I wrote for a dear friend of mine

There's a home in my heart for you

one built from the memories we've made

 from the years that' have passed

  and the fights that wouldn't last

it'll be there forever and always

I look in your eyes and find myself

reflected in your blue waves

crashing into me, taking my breath away.

through the forces that want me to leave you

to the people who won't be here to stay

I'll  wait for you to return to 

the place in my heart you call home.

There's a home in my heart for you

one built from the memories we've made.

from the years that have passed

and the fights that wouldn't last

it'll be there forever and always.

On the road at night, when I'm all alone

I'll think of you,

the two AM drives, the dancing and blues

every thought, it'll be of you.

though it may seem wrong

I'm happy for you,

I'll support you in all that you choose.

I'll wait for you to return to 

the place in my heart you call home

There's a home in my heart for you

one built from the memories we've made.

from the years that have passed

to the fights that wouldn't last

It'll be there forever and always.

I wasn't afraid to face you when I realized you lied.

I wasn't afraid to tell you when you used me to feel alive

I'll keep you straight, on the better path 

a faithful one, toward the girl who loves you.

I won't be afraid of the hate that ensues

I won't be afraid of what I might lose

I don't fear because love won't lose

I've made a home for you.

There's a home in my heart for you

one built from the memories we've made.

from the years that have passed

to the fights that wouldn't last

It'll be there forever and always.

 My heart, it slowly bleeds.

to know one day you'll leave

your more important family,

 to your beautiful, kind everything. 

But I promised to stay

and I'll continue to pray

 that you do only what makes you happy.

 I'll be your friend to the end 

platonic and true

 because  I've made a home for you.

There's a home in my heart for you

one built from the memories we've made.

from the years that have passed

to the fights that wouldn't last

It'll be there forever.... and always.

This is great storytelling in a lyrical verse . . . many times I see "song" on a poem, but I don't feel it as such . . . this has great musicality. It's hard for me to interpret this, since I think it's sad for someone to be pining over someone else that probably won't be returning. But it's a realistic depiction of how sometimes "waiting" can be a form of choosing not to engage in other possibilities life might offer (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This is lovely, quite nicely written. I haven’t seen many songs published on here, this one is so sweet and romantic

[Samuel Dickens]

You show us very good story-telling in lyric form. Like so many songs, it's a sad one of longing and hoping. If not sad, then poignant at the least.
