For Adeline from Exposed by Vince Santoro

Seems everyone she knew is in my living room
together we’re the legacy of love that she left
with casseroles and constant conversation
I can smile a busy smile
the fact she’s gone really hasn’t hit me yet

A day will come when I’m alone
and life is feeling somewhat normal
no longer holding back
I’ll turn the tap and let it run
I’ll set wild horses free the day when
I’ll get my crying done
for Adeline

A list of things to do that I been workin’ through,
thank you cards, signed & sent
by her daughters and her sons
All her bills are paid, loose ends all tied up
thought I covered all my bases
guess there’s still another one

A day will come when I’m alone
I’ll have her photograph to hold
as the dam begins to break
I’ll beg the clouds to block the sun
a welcome rain will mark the day when
I’ll get my crying done
for Adeline
I know my tears will never dry
for Adeline
they’ll fall until the end of time.
