Somebody Here To Stay

Ó 1997 Robert Wesley Branch

For Phyllis Hyman – I miss you.

Sitting by my window

Feeling like my life is passing by

Thinkin' that you're out there

Time – does everything but fly

I've tried everything I know to do

To keep this loneliness away

Sittin' by my window

or lyin' cross my bed

I'm always wishing there was someone

to receive the love I have to share

I've done everything I know to do

to bring real love into my life

I’ve tried everything I know to do

To make it right

All I want is to be kissed

All I want is to be missed

All I want is to be hugged

All I want is to be loved

But here I am today

A man that is grown – and on my own

Here I am today

 Living alone

Solo at home

Learning to be somebody here to stay
