    Something you can see 

         This is a story about my Mom and Dad. They were married for over seventy years. Wow! My Dad was a kid during the depression and he was not big on showing affection. He believed in showing love by acts of kindness. I don't know if I ever heard him say I love you but I never ever doubted that he loved me. My dad wasn't a big talker. If you wanted to know him you had to dig deeper than words. He told me and showed me that love is more than words. Here are the words to my song, Something you can see. 

    He worked hard from sun up to sunset 

    Dad repainted our old farmhouse white 

    Nailed up shutters and new shingles 

    Fixed it up for Mom,  real nice. 

     

    Chorus- I never saw him raise his voice in anger 

    Never saw him say an unkind word to her. 

    She’s his everything 

    I love you wasn’t something that he said, 

     Love was something you could see. 

     

    She picked wild flower by the creek bank 

     Mom  arranged them in a coffee can. 

    At night, she lit scented candles 

    Glad to sit and hold Daddies hands. 

     

    Chorus - I never saw her raise her voice in anger 

    Never saw her say and unkind word to him 

    He’s her everything, 

     I love you wasn’t something she just said 

    Love  was something you could see.

     

    Girl, you’re like a flower, you need water and sunshine 

    I can be the  rain that falls in the springtime. 

     

    Chorus- I hope I never raise my voice in anger 

    Hope I never say and unkind word to you. 

    You’re my everything. 

    I love you isn’t something I just say 

    Love is something you can see.  

     
    Here is the demo of this song. I hope you like it. Love is something you can see.
