"for Jennifer"

This is an old song I wrote for a longtime friend after her mother passed away.  I regret not sharing it with her right after I wrote it (seems sad and ironic because I was trying to express the idea that I would be there for her).  At any rate, I guess it reflects where I was musically when I was 20 years old.  This project ("Challenge no. 1") has been fun for me because I am revisiting all of these songs I wrote a long time ago, many of which I haven't played in quite awhile.  I am glad I remember them.

Title: "for Jennifer"

Written December 1997

Lyrics:

What can I say?

What should I say to her?

Take comfort in knowing she’s in a better place?

To treasure the memories and not to torture yourself?

What should I say?

Oh there’s nothing to say at all

What should I say?

What should I say to her?

Take comfort in knowing she suffers no more?

To trust in God if you believe?

Now you know you must be strong

Now you know what courage is

But if you lose your faith at all

Please know I’m here

I’m here for you

For you
