Ellen's Song
(Jack Kennedy)
Ellen’s Song
You tell me that I’m ninety and I’ll live a hundred more
yet when I think of Michael I still feel I’m twenty-four
there’s nothing that I need today, I’m just a little sore
I want to be with Michael, that’s all I’m waiting for.
Your face looks so familiar though I don’t recall your name
I think I saw you Tuesday though every day seems all the same
would you turn the lights down low, would you kindly shut my door?
I want to be with Michael, that’s all I’m waiting for.
Memories keep me company throughout the day
memories keep him close beside me as I lay
If I seem a bit too dreamy like I’m lost on a distant shore
I want to be with Michael, that’s all I’m waiting for.
You now seemed so concerned that I may not make it through
but you don’t understand what it is I want to do
I really am at peace now, I am happy at the core,
I’m on my way to Michael, that’s what I’ve been waiting for.
