I've been trying to find a way to say how I miss you when you leave
Cause I need to get it clear, I'll be ok, I just won't breathe.
If I could keep my arms tight and wrapped around you so you'd feel me there
in the light that shines through your window, I'd be everywhere
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
If you can trust yourself when they may doubt you, I'll still be here.
I couldn't love you more than in this moment, so you know, take these words with you, when you go.
A poem I read and loved as a child I am giving it to you
Cause it says it so much better than I could ever do.
Remember me in quiet times you'll feel me there,
I'm in the walls and shadows, I'll be everywhere
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
if you can trust yourself when they may doubt you, I'll still be here
I couldn't love you more than in this moment, so you know, take these words with you, when you go.
I'm in the walls and shadows, I'll be everywhere
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs
If you can trust yourself when they may doubt you, I'll still be here
I couldn't love you more than in this moment, so you know, take these words with you, when you go.

I adored Judie Tzuke back in the (ahem) early 80s. And now I've discovered her daughter's amazing voice. Enjoy (you might want to skip the beginning...)
