A VERY SPECIAL LADY
A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND
I WALKED INTO YOUR ROOM LAST NIGHT,
SAW YOU LYING THERE IN BED.
THEN FEAR RAN THROUGH MY BODY,
PANIC RACED THROUGH MY HEAD.
FOR YOU SEE, A YEAR AGO,
I SAW THAT VERY SIGHT.
AS I WALKED INTO MY WIFE’S ROOM,
SHE LAY THERE IN THE LIGHT.
I LEFT HER TO GO HOME THAT NIGHT,
SHE HAD ASKED FOR ME TO STAY.
BUT I LEFT HER ANYWAY,
SHE DIED THE VERY NEXT DAY.
NOW IT’S YOU, LYING THERE,
AGAIN I HAVE TO GO.
WHAT WILL THE MORROW BRING,
MY GOD, I DO NOT KNOW.
I WON’T GO FAR, I’LL STAY NEAR,
TRY TO SLEEP IN MY TRUCK.
BEFORE I GO, I’LL CHECK IN,
HOPE, PRAY, AND TRUST TO LUCK.
NOT LONG AGO I FOUND YOU,
AND COULD NOT STAND THE PAIN.
IF I WERE TO LOSE YOU NOW,
AND GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN.
YOU’RE A VERY SPECIAL LADY,
A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND.
I’M SO GLAD OUR PATHS HAVE CROSSED,
AND DON’T KNOW HOW THIS WILL END.
BUT THIS I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
AS I LAY HERE IN THE DARK.
THAT A VERY SPECIAL LADY,
ON MY HEART, HAS LEFT HER MARK.
From "Bud"
