about
NOTE THIS TRACK WAS NOT PART OF THIS ALBUM
(But was written at the time, in Australia)
My son passed from this life when he was just 20.
However he did not leave the realm of love, where he is forever young to me. I wrote this some months after his death.
I continue to be grateful for his life.

lyrics
Rain is tapping on the window, perhaps it is you playing a game?
I see your photo smiling at me and I remember years ago,
when you were not inside that frame.
But now?
You’re still within my heart.
You’ll always stay a part of who I am
And I?
I think of you each year that passes by,
but while I struggle, you no longer have to try,
for you will stay;
forever young.
Forever young out-side of time
Forever young inside my mind
Forever young I will recall you just like that photo, on the wall.
For all of time, you’re still within my heart.
You’ll always stay
a part of who I am
For all of time I’ll think of you each year that passes by,
but while I struggle, you no longer have to try,
for you will stay;
forever young.
Forever young out-side of time
Forever young inside my mind
Forever young I will recall you
just like that photo, on the wall.
I see your photo smiling at me and I remember years ago,
when you were not inside that frame.
But now?
You’re still within my heart.
You’ll always stay a part of who I am
And I?
I think of you each year that passes by,
but while I struggle, you no longer have to try,
for you will stay;
forever young.
Forever young out-side of time
Forever young inside my mind
Forever young I will recall you just like that photo, on the wall.
For all of time, you’re still within my heart.
You’ll always stay
a part of who I am
For all of time I’ll think of you each year that passes by,
but while I struggle, you no longer have to try,
for you will stay;
forever young.
Forever young out-side of time
Forever young inside my mind
Forever young I will recall you
just like that photo, on the wall.
