All That I Have
by @mikeymason
Liner Notes
It's the first song of FAWM 2025! I wrote this for a project I'm developing... (I'll give details when there are details to give.) Suffice it to say, the project requires songs, and I've been waiting for FAWM to write some of them.
Lyrics
I’ve known your smile, ‘cross the miles and the years,
Dreamed of your laughter, imagined your sorrow and tears.
A face and a name, and the blame, all I own,
Filigree linking me to a life that I’ll never have known.
I have your photograph, that’s all you can be to me.
I’ve got your photograph, keeping me company.
I’ll always know your smile but never know your laugh
‘Cause all that I have is a photograph.
I’ve stayed away every day of your life
Watched from afar with a guilt that can cut like a knife.
I’ve stayed aware, just as much as I dare.
Never allowed a hello or to show that I care.
I have your photograph, that’s all you can be to me.
I’ve got your photograph, keeping me company.
I’ll always know your smile but never know your laugh
‘Cause all that I have is a photograph.
I have your photograph, that’s all you can be to me.
I’ve got your photograph, keeping me company.
I’ll always know your smile but never know your laugh
‘Cause all that I have is a photograph.

The angst of the "I have your photograph" image is palpable in the best of ways.
Love it! Excellent track!
