As a young kid in Florida a friends Mother and Little brother were brutally murdered – This is my recollection……..
The gifts’ in the song Michelle………
When i was just a kid at 6 years old – i kissed a girl who’s mother died that night I’m told – the devil took her brother and her soul – i heard her little brother was just 4 years old – and she was at her grandma’s safe and sound – days went by i watched she never came around – she was left to endure this pure hell – i wonder what happened to poor Michelle
Kids around the neighborhood would go – around the house to watch the police show – Taped off from the porch to the stairs – bloodstained like all my tears
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but i was so afraid yeah i was so afraid – and all this time i sat around – praying that you’d be found but I’m still so afraid that i won’t know what to say Michelle
I wish that i could call you on the phone – to let you know you’ve never ever been alone – Never had the nerve to do so – and I’ve kept a secret you deserve to know – that night on Christmas eve i was there – i saw your mothers husband walking up the stairs – I had a gift to give to you that night – your mom said you weren’t home with terror in her eyes – How could i have known i was just a kid – I almost told my mom oh god i wish i did – Instead i went about my Christmas eve – watching Jesus getting tortured on TV – My soul cried out for him as he was beat – and i forgot about the monster who was down the street – morning saw your mama on the screen – same eyes as the night before that keep on haunting me
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but I was so afraid – yeah I was so afraid – and all this time i sat around – praying that you’d be found – but I’m still so afraid – that i won’t know what to say Michelle……
Since i could never right this wrong for you – I decided i should write a song for you- One day maybe you’ll turn the radio on – and my gift will echo throughout the lyrics of this song – Just know that i have always been with you – though i never had the guts to come find you – that kiss was my first oh what it meant to me – So long ago would you remember me – cause i remember everything so clear – the softness of you lips that day you disappeared – the feeling that i felt for you my friend – the longing just to kiss you once again – though life has passed i feel it till this day Sometimes at night i still can see you face – and dark thoughts seem to set my mind adrift – before it’s too late Michelle i need you have this gift
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but i was so afraid yeah i was so afraid – and all this time i sat around – praying that you’d be found but I’m still so afraid that i won’t know what to say Michelle
