1st Draft, Why'd you have to leave so soon
First draft of a new song. I pumped out the words and sang em in less than an hour at 7:00 in the morning. It's not great musically and my voice stinks at 7:00am but I ain't shy...

Watch Blind Snoopy butcher songs from all genres and make them almost unrecognizable for my guitar teacher. If it's acoustic and somebody is teaching it I will
OK, I figured it was time for an update. Blind Snoopy is now 49! I have been learning guitar for a solid year now and this is basically my homework page. Nothing of real value on her for anybody but other beginners as this all stuff from my guitar lessons and really isn't fit for human consumption. I am still learning to play and sing, really working on learning something about recording but of course all this stuff is quite rough, done at home on a PC. It's here only for critique and education, mine and my friends on the beginners forums I frequent...
Story behind the song
Always thought I had some music inside of me. Some feeling you just can't express with words or pictures. It's Ty and his Mom's recent departure that got the song out but we all experience the loss of family members if we live long enough. Those valleys of the soul we push through make us stronger and more able to enjoy the mountaintops when we hit them...

Lyrics
So I'm l'm lying here, on my bedroom floor...
Hurt's so bad I had to close the door,
Oh Mama, Why'd you have go so soon.
I remember how, you held me oh so tight,
The day I lost my first big grade school fight
Oh mama, why'd you have to leave so soon.
You always saw in me, what I should become,
Just ignored what was and saw me in the sun,
Oh Mama, why'd you have to leave so soon
You taught me right from wrong and how to sing a song,
Never even yelled when you found that bong,
But mama, why'd you have to leave so soon
Sometimes the little things are the ones most missed,
the soundless telephone or the cheek not kissed,
Oh mama, why'd you have to go so soon.
I think it might be nice just to go with you
But I got two young kids and good wife too,
Oh Mama, why'd you have to go so soon
Yep, a family man has to pay some dues,
to think that as a kid I didn't have a clue
Oh mama, why'd you have to leave so soon
So I keep keepin on in this vale of tears,
miissng you but knowing in a matter of years,
Oh mama, I'll be seeing you again real soon
I thank Jesus Mom, like you taught me to,
And I'll do my best, cause I know it's true,
Oh mama, I'll be seeing you again real soon
Sometimes late at night when I'm all alone,
With my hopes and fears, and kids of my own,
I know mama, you never really left at all
