Name: Song To You
Duration: P00H02M40S
Description: This song was written for my mother many years ago. It is dedicated to her in thanks for all she went through raising a family of four children by herself after our father died. It's taken many years to record this as it was so personal and difficult to approach. This was written in a period when I was being influenced very strongly by the music of the Beatles and the wonderful songs of the 60's.

lyrics

I dedicate this song to you
For everything you’ve done
And all that you’ve been through
For every time I heard you cry alone
I dedicate this song to you

How many dreams were left behind
The secret world you shared
A future left to find
I never did know what to do
Can I dedicate this song to you

Sometimes it’s hard to find a way
To say what we should say
Can I sing a song to you?

So many years since he’s been gone
The children that he left you
Have grown up tall and strong
And I owe you so much more it’s true
But all I’ve got’s this song to you
