Lyrics
Where You Are Is Where I Am © 2016
Tony Annunziata... annunzia@bellsouth.net
Vs1
My dad gave me his leather bound book / I read a page and I was hooked
He wrote how he loved mom and me / along with God and country
When we lost mom two winter's past / it brought on a sadness that would last
All through spring and summer too / the hardest time I'd ever do
Chorus
Oh it's hard letting go / but when it's time you know
I swear I could feel mom tap my chest with her hand...and say / Where You Are Is Where I Am
Vs2
Dad told me not to rush / that life would speed up soon enough
But there's no wait in a young man's heart / when he feels his world coming apart
So I joined the guard at seventeen / still a boy chasing dreams
When I hugged my dad goodbye / he said I felt this coming and dried his eyes
Chorus
Oh it's hard letting go / but when it's time you know
Dad tapped my chest with his hand...and said / Where You Are Is Where I Am
Bridge
I knew one day I'd wind up here / where the sky sparks lightening bolts of fear
I saw my mom with open arms / she reached out and I was gone
Music
Chorus
Oh it's hard letting go / but when it's time you know
I tapped dad's chest with my hand ...and said...Where You Are Is Where I Am
