My Nanny
You were my heart and soul,
And I still don't understand why you had to go.
I always ran to you,
And you knew exactly what to do.
Whenever I had a problem it was you I ran,
Because you would always smile and I knew you'd understand.
If my heart was broken and I needed a while,
I'd go to your house and leave there with a smile.
You would tell me everything would be alright,
Then hug and kiss me and hold me tight.
When you'd tell me things would be good,
I knew they had to be because YOU said they would.
You knew me way too well,
And now I cry myself to sleep because you won't be there to help momma fix my veil.
You promised you would dance at my wedding,
Now every day I wake up dreading.
Now I can't even run to just see you,
I just sit here and wonder what I'm I gonna do.
You promised you were going to stick around for me,
But when I look around you're the only one I don't see.
You make me so mad and I know it's not your fault,
But all I wanna do Nanny is sit down and talk.
I don't care if you don't dance,
All I want is another chance.
To talk, to kiss you, to hug you, to do everything I wanna do,
Just another chance to say I LOVE YOU!
You never judged me on what I did,
And all my secrets you kept hid.
I will never be the same,
All I want is to hear you say me name.
I'm gonna keep a part of you with me,
And everywhere I am there you'll be.
