Thanks a lot! After playing around with some guitar chords and drum track, the song was around 4:40. I had to do some serious lyric trimming to make it around 3:45 long.

Here is the result. I like it much better. The title has changed and many other things.


All The Little Things

Copyright December 2011 / Michael E. Lynch

The willow weeps outside our window
Your dog still sits right by the door
I guess she thinks you're coming home soon
Like so many hundred times before.

You fought a constant battle, and the pain for two long years
If I could just turn back the hands, the heartache, and the fear

All the little things -------------- that you had to say
Telling me --- I'm still wonderful --- as you were on your way
That I'm the reason why, you always loved your life
And kept the fire burnin' blue, when I turned out the lights
All----The little things

I sit here looking in the mirror
At all the emptiness, I face
One of these days I know we'll meet again
At a different time, and a better place

I know you took, the very last breath that you could
To tell me that I'll be all right, just like I knew you would

All the little things -------------- that you had to say
Telling me --- I'm still wonderful --- as you were on your way
That I'm the reason why, you always loved your life
And kept the fire burnin' blue, when I turned out the lights
All----The little things


Bridge:

Your smiley face on a frosted window
One of your hand prints on the wall
A place for two set at the table
You won't catch me when I fall

All the little things -------------- that you had to say
Telling me --- I'm still wonderful --- as you were on your way
That I'm the reason why, you always loved your life
And kept the fire burnin' blue, when I turned out the lights
All----The little things
