tonight
i wanted ta' call
ta' hear her voice
that was all.
for 20 years,
thru lots of tears
& fears
that was my choice
ta' make the call.
ta' hear her voice.
that was all.

but, tonight i couldn't call.
i couldn't take that fall
and that was all.

though fears are near
and there's a tear,
tonight her voice
would not be for me.
tonight her voice
would be for "He".
that was her choice
that's how it be.

so i took note.
and so i wrote.
but still,
my will
wanted ta' call.
ta' hear her voice.
that woulda' been my choice.
i couldn't take that fall.
and that was all.
