| SLIPPED AWAY written by Damon Carroll - 3/20/2003© In loving memory of Stanley Carroll December 28, 1950 - December 24, 2002 Chords: capo 3rd fret D, D/B, D, D/B, Em, A7, Em, A7, Chorus: Em, A7, Em, A7 Bridge: Bm, F#m, G, A7 I think about you all the time Not a single day ever goes by That you don’t cross my mind I think about you all the time I still can’t believe it’s true Where have you gone man, I haven’t a clue I’m still looking all around Expecting you to show up somewhere in this town Chorus: All I did was look away When I looked back You had slipped away A couple of days after my brother had passed He came to me in a dream Sitting across the kitchen table He was singing a song But nobody’s listening but me It was the sweetest song I think I’ve ever heard My brother was singing it just for me And all of a sudden we both began to cry As if we knew this was the very last time Chorus: All I did was look away When I looked back He had slipped away Bridge So if I only have just this one day I want to spend it with you Drag out a couple guitars And let us play Some old good ole tunes And I guess I’ve never been so low Worked so hard at feeling sorry for myself As if I was the one who died Maybe I thought I was the only one who cried But now I know I’m not the only one missing you There’s still a lot of people down here loving you So if you can hear my song Know we’ll all catch up to you bro’ It won’t be long Chorus: All I did was look away When I looked back Stanley had slipped away Bridge So if I only have just this one day I want to spend it with you Drag out a couple guitars And let us play some old Neverly Brother tunes Chorus: All I did was look away When I looked back My brother had slipped away |
