This was written during the November Solo Album Writing Month challenge. This song was written with my grandmother, Isabel Elliott, in mind. She was the kindest person I've ever met and I'm still learning from the lessons she taught me.

lyrics

I never understood a single word you ever said
At least not the way you intended them to be
And I could stare at you for hours 'till the end of time
And now I know that I could never truly see

I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
If you'd just be mine tonight

I look back at all the time that I have spent with you
I wonder if I will wash it away with all these tears
But now I realize that all I have are memories
And I'll hold onto them until they disappear

I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
If you'd just be mine tonight

I knew it was the time for you to fade away
There was nothing left to do
No words for me to say but goodbye

I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
If you'd just be mine tonight
