Indiana Hills (Barb Barton) D
Seems like it was yesterday when you’d greet me at your door
And your tears would fall when we had to say goodbye
When are you coming back again, it always seems too long
Don’t forget to telephone when you get home
And I’d leave the Indiana Hills with an aching in my heart
Cause I knew someday it’d be the last and we’d forever be apart
When the cancer came you beat it down and planned for Panama next year
When you’d take that trip to see the big canal
It happened when Katrina came, though she was a thousand miles away
The heart that loved so well was checking out
I went back to the Indiana Hills with an aching in my heart
Cause I knew that day it’d be the last and we’d forever be apart
I made a promise years ago that you would never leave your home
That I would care for you just like you cared for me
It was my turn to comfort you and tuck you into bed at night
And hold you in my arms when your heart was full of fear
And now I feel so damn alone and I just can’t stop my tears
My world it crashed the day we put you in the ground
And I feel just like a little child a long, long way from home
And all the bridges to get back have been taken out
So I’ll leave the Indiana Hills with an aching in my heart
And I know some day will be my last and then we’ll never be apart
[you are my sunshine...1st verse]
