TexScratch

Retired military solo artist; Tex/Americana/Folk singer/songwriter. 'Scratch' is my military handle and TexScratch a stage name just for the purpose of having a stage name, I suppose... Let's Talk Guild (LTG) guitar forum friends inspired many tunes and the inclination to purchase far too many Guild Guitars over the years...

Story behind the song

Many folks in retirement homes long for company.  Some have family; some do not; some live in the moment only.  For Aunt Johanna. You are missed...

Your face I recall; 
Yet I don't remember you; 
But I have a picture somewhere; 
At least I think I do 
Of someone familiar; 
They say I once knew; 
And somebody loves me; 

I just don't know who

Guitar slowly strum

Pictures and memories;
They lie on a rumpled bed; 
Notes on the bottom of each; 
Stating something once said
A picnic spread on the hill; 
I swear I smell flowers in bloom; 
Now slowly fading away; 
Through the walls of this lonely room

Come back and visit tomorrow; 
We'll talk about old times
And play me that song that you wrote; 
You know the one that rhymes
With the names of those; 
Who filled up my younger years;
I'll do my best to recall; 
This time you were here

Your Voice I recall
But I don't remember You;
I have a picture somewhere
At least I think I do
Of someone familiar
They say I once knew
Somebody loves me
But I don't know who

Now they say it is Friday; 
There's a knock at the door
The person standing out there; 
Has never been here before
You kiss my cheek gently; 
Your intentions are true
And I'm so happy you're here; 
I wish I could remember you

Your smile I recall; 
Why don't I remember you?; 
Because I have a picture somewhere; 
At least I think I do 
Of someone familiar; 
They say I once knew; 
And that person loves me; 
I just don't know who

Is it you who loves me?; 
I think I might love you too
