Melvin's Song

Every since I was a little girl I have written songs. My mother said she would have to sit and listen to 4 to 5 page songs that seemed to go on forever. Bless her heart. My father sang with the Temptations before they became Temptations and were just a group of boys singing on the street corners of Alabama.
When we lived in California, my father discovered that me, my brother, and two cousins could really harmonize and he set out to make us the next musical sensation. He'd won an electric guitar and amplifier on The Price is Right and purchased a microphone. Everyday after school we all met at our house and would practice singing songs my father had penned. Unfortunately our little group disbanded when we moved to Alabama. Thus, amateur song writing is in my blood.
I have penned several christian songs that I sing to myself now, but used to sing for Melvin. He would listen to each new song so intently and say, "Poo, we need to record those little songs." Something in his voice would let me know he was humoring me, but I adored the fact that he listened.
I wrote this song to him in March of 2006.

Melvin's Song

If you knew my Melvin,

the way I know my Melvin,

you too would truly see,

that me and my Melvin,

loved inseparably,

 truly, deeply, completely.

His eyes, how they sparkled

and his smile filled with glee,

for me no one else will there be,

'Cause me and my Melvin loved inseparably,

 truly, deeply, completely.

Gone February,

left us all here to grieve,

someday together we'll be,

'Cause me and my Melvin loved inseparably,

 truly, deeply, completely.

humming...

'Cause me and my Melvin loved inseparably,

 truly, deeply, completely.
