Sometimes lifes journey presents surprises. Brother-in-law Ray once told me he thought he had a child in the Phillipines. One evening Ray recieved a phone call from Mary Jane. This song was written from her perspective. They now have a father/daughter relationship somewhat removed from the norm but loving just the same.
Lyrics
Is That You
Are you my daddy
Was that you
Looking in the rear view mirror that day at us two
I was told that you were there
When I was brought into this world
Now 39 years have come and gone
Is that you
Did you wonder
How I was
How I lived my every day
Or every other one
Or were you busy with your own life
With youre family and such
Did you think of me at night when all was quiet
Is that you
Is that you
Oceans away from us
Many thoughts between
Were you young and unconcerned
What did the world tell you then
I think I understand that time
But what are you thinking right now
Ive traveled this far
To ask you this
Is that you
Were both older now
Anyway can I say
I dont try understand anymore
Im just here today
Do you care to hold my hand
Do you dare to touch my heart
Do you ever want to see whats become of me
Is that you
Is that you
