A Little While
Tricia Dovidio 2008

For a  little while I was expecting you
For a little while you cried
For a little while I held you close to me
For a long, long time we both smiled
For a little while you shared your dreams with me
for a little while I was smart
For a little while you wished for 2 of me
But for a long, long time we drifted apart


A little while is an eternity
A little while can be one day
This time it feels like a broken heart
I need to know if you're okay


For a little while I was your best friend
For a little while life was fine
In a little while I knew what you loved
For a long, long time you changed your mind
For a little while the world was calling you
For a little while you stayed
For a little while you knew the danger there
For a long, long time you lost your way


A little while is an eternity
A little while can be one day
This time it feels like a broken heart
You should care if I'm okay


Meanwhile I'm havin' good days and bad
I'm busy tryin to let go of you
But right at the best time i start feelin sad
Cause  you should  be  sharin' it too               
 It's not the same without you


In a little while I'll be expecting you
For a little while I cried
In a little while you'll walk in through my door
And  for a long, long time I'll smile  some more


A little while is an eternity
A little while should be one day
I'm so done with this broken heart
You will make it all okay   
I said forever we will be okay

At 19, he dropped out of college and became a little hobo for 2 months. 
He's 21 now and is back at home with a good job, and now he is applying to 3 colleges to major in physics.-all his own idea! Who'da thought?

Thanks Bobby and Vincent.

its a very nice song Tricia. And the topic is so sweet. This year our daughter will leave our home and she will start to study in Scotland. Much to far from home! I wish I could write her such a nice song!

great work you all.
