The Things You Needed Most

(c)2007 Lee Westerso All Rights Reserved

This song has been on my mind a lot lately-perhaps because of my current situation, but mostly I just like it. I put it up a couple of years ago, and thought I would move it up front again as I work on some other things.
Thank you for listening.

You never told me it's over
But we always knew it was
This love's older, so much colder
Shouldn't bother me, but it does

Used to be, it was me, myself and I
Then it was only you and me
It's back to three of us since you told me goodbye
Now it's me, myself, and your memory

All your love is still inside my heart
But it won't show - like some cold, unfriendly ghost
Must you go on keepin' us apart?
And let go of the things you needed most

After too much time alone
I heard leavin' in your voice
Have I turned your heart to stone?
Have you really made your choice?

There's a reason you were here
And it's not 'cause love is blind
Let me wipe away your tears
Don't leave all we had behind

All your love is still inside my heart
But it won't show - like some cold, unfriendly ghost
Must you go on keepin' us apart?
And let go of the things you needed most

Must you go on keepin' us apart?
And let go of the things you needed most

Great piano, excellent words !

Especially like 2nd stanza,

"back to three of us".....Very clever.

Very Nice, thanks.

Thanks, Man! I really don't play keys much, I just teach myself what I need to lay it down. Kinda like pullin' banjo from tab - over & over & over... lol.

Have a great day, my friend,

Lee

Mark, thank you so much for your moving words! Very flattering coming from a true artist of your caliber. Man, I sure wish I could sit down with you and Noy someday, and just talk and jam some.

You two have a beautiful week!

Your kindred spirit I believe,

Well written song and beautifully performed. Your fingers elegantly capture the mood conveyed in your heartfelt lyrics. My good friend Tuks had many lovely things to say about your music and urged me to listen to more of your songs and I'm so glad she did, because as you just recently pointed out,...I believe were in the same place in our hearts and this is a very very good thing. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your wonderful work as my night moves forward. Peace good friend, Mark
