I'll Come Back For You
by Jody Galindo
Tears run down your face and chin.
You smile at me...what fun you have been.
But now I'm off to college--
Don't cry, please...I'll gain more knowledge.
What a friend you have been...
You changed me; I'm clean from sin.
You sowed my heart from spilling;
And now you have completed my healing.
It's time for me to grow up into a man...
A man that will love you--he knows he can.
You got a ways to go still;
I climb myself up and over the hill.
Surely I will not forget about you.
I know I love you, and it's so true.
My hardest part is letting you go.
It will only be for a while--you know?
What a beautiful woman you will be;
I'm anxious to come back just to see.
Just hold on for four years more...
Without your aura of love, my heart will be sore.
It will be tough, but I must live life.
My heart feels it has been stabbed with a knife.
I admit, I need to go through...
But I know this--I'll come back for you.
