"Whatever Your Name Is"

You would craddle her in your arms,
That night in the hospital bed,
I'd be in the hall on the phone,
Not rememb'ring a word I've said.
She'd grab my thomb so strong and tight,
For the first time I'd understand.
All my doubts were suddenly gone,
As her head fell into my hand.

I shed a tear and said:" I am a dad,"
But she is the baby we never had...

Cause we've never met,
And you're nowhere to find.
But you're out there somwhere,
And always on my mind.
Whatever your name is...
Whatever your name is...

I've painted a picture of you
You have got big brown hazel eyes
Sparkled chocolate coloured hair
Skin as soothing as a sunrise.
I'd like a chance to talk to you
But since you're a vision it's insane
And if we're ever introduced
I hope Ellisa is your name!

Invite you to dinner just me and you
But my dining table is not for two...

Cause we've never met,
And you're nowhere to find.
But you're out there somwhere,
And always on my mind.
Whatever your name is...
Whatever your name is...

You're not the bride and I'm not the groom,
So I'm sitting alone in my room..

Cause we've never met,
And you're nowhere to find.
But you're out there somwhere,
And always on my mind.
Whatever your name is...
Whatever your name is...

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.

I agree with everyone else. Difently different, and it's always good to see different writings. Well done.
