Lyrics

Father: what is it annie?

Daughter: I miss you

[This is actually on track 17--you have it at the end of track 16 ("amazed").]

If you were here
I know that you would
Truly be amazed
At what's become of what you made
If you were here
You would know how I treasured every day
How every single word you spoke
Echoes in me like a memory of hope

When you were here
You could not feel the value that I placed
One every look that crossed your face
When you were here
I did not know just how I had embraced
All that you hid behind your face
Could not hide from me
'Cause it hid in me too

Father:
How are you, tiger? this is great fun, to be able
To talk with you...like this
In fact I'm going to do it more often

Now that I'm here I hear you and wonder if maybe
You can hear yourself
Ringing in me now that you're somewhere else

Father:
I miss you a lot

'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true

Father: I'm sharing with you some of my
Reflections

Singing inside me with the best parts of you
Now that I'm here

Father:
But I'm so proud of everything you do there
Father:
Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to
Me

Now that I'm here

Father: oh..

I love you..

Daughter:
It's okay, you can go now
