Vintage R&B, Blues, Love Song
Lyrics:
There’s light in your eyes and your smile
Your humor belies all the pain you’re in
40 years you had promised
Now I count time in your measured breath
knowing this is not about me
I just hold your hand
How can I be this helpless?
I lay in your bed and watch you sleep
The sunset paints golden our little room
I beg God for a bargain, I will place you on my shoulders
But they’re telling me
That kind of strength cannot save you
I just hold your hand
How can I be this helpless?
If I’m your big strong man
How can I be this helpless?
You’re so composed, I’m in awe
you smile like you know there’s a meaning to it all
So tell me
How can I be this helpless?
Please tell me
How can I be this helpless?
Please tell me
How can I be this helpless?
