Topic: Value Her

Value Her.             By Phill Williams   19th February 2009

I had a little cry yesterday
It's worth it just to cry sometimes
To cry for no reason
To cry out in pain
To cry tears of pride
To keep you ...sane

I may cry tomorrow
And I'll tell you just why
My feelings are hurt
But you wont see me cry

No body to hurt me
No body to leave
For I am alone now
I cry `cause I greave

I cry `cause I miss her
I miss the way that she cared
Her scent and her smile
How she combed my hair

So value your mother
Before she has gone
Kiss her, carress her
And give her your love

Re: Value Her

Hi Phill,

Wonderful and moving words that would make a great song. Have you any music for them or is it intended to remain a poem?

Re: Value Her

I was very impressed with these words and so I have have put music to it and recorded it and it is now in the Songwriting section and on my MySpace.

I hasten to add that this has been done with the full knowledge and agreement from Phill.

Thank you Phill.
