Lyrics:
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
They don't realize

It's when you're dialing 6 numbers just to hang up the phone
Driving cross town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not fall asleep
Cause you know she'll be there in your dreams
that's when she's
more than a memory

Took a match to everything she ever wrote
watched her words go up in smoke
tore all her pictures off the wall
that ain't helping me at all

'Cause when you're talking out loud and nobody is there
you look like hell and you just don't care
you're drinking more than you ever drank
and sinking down lower than you ever sank
When you find yourself falling down upon your knees
praying to God, begging him "please"
that's when she's
more than a memory

She's more
She's more

Cause when you're dialing her number just to hang up the phone
Driving cross town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not fall asleep
Cause you know she's waiting in your dreams
that's when she's
more than a memory

People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget

Do you think you could post the gloss for this song?

[allyballybabe]

i dont write glosses out for songs..

no time! its all done in my head

sorry!! :(

[David4946]

What's a gloss ?

[allyballybabe]

A gloss is like the ASL signs written in English, but in ASL word order.

For instance, the sentence "the boy is going to the store' would be written in gloss like:

BOY STORE HE GO.

I admire you trying to sign this in ASL... but honey.. there are many things you did wrong. You are using the wrong words for memory, when, and many many more... but thanks for trying. the whole concept of the song is signed wrong!

[allyballybabe]

there is a reason i put up my songs on youtube..

that is for feedback to improve my signing.

so as much as i appreciate what you are trying to help me on, there is a different way to go about doing that.

when i first did this video, i wasnt aware of the things that i was doing wrong.

but once again, for future reference.. if you are wanting to provide feedback, please do so in a respectful manner.

no one asked you to watch and comment.

thank you.

i just want you to know that i just started to watch your videos on you tube and i think what you are doing is bridging a gap between deaf people and songs. i my self aint deaf but my little neice's aunt and uncle are and i will have to refere them to youtube so that they can enjoy them just as i did. good luck and keep doing a good job. your new friend fallenlavitz4.
