about

"How do you say goodbye to someone you have loved all your life?
With Maria, each time I had to leave her, my heart ached, beating as hard as when I was on my way to see her. I knew I would meet her again, however, and it made our parting the sweetest of sorrows. But there is no greater pain than to lose someone close to you, and know it is forever. It is as if a piece of your gut has been torn out of you, but you are numb, deaf, and dumb. Heartache can be a pain that drowns out all the others, leaving you oblivious to the world around you. You have nothing to say and no one to whom you can say the words you cannot express. I could think of nothing better than to go home and start to write a song for her, in the hope that somewhere she might hear it."

lyrics

For You © 2021 Malcolm Duff & Maristela Da Silva

Lately I’ve been lonely
Lonely just for you
You’re the one and only
Who’s always seen me through

But this freight train we’re all riding
May be all we have for time
So hold me tight all through this night
And put your hand in mine

How I miss you, that’s no lie
But I’ll kiss you by and by
So tell me you’re true
That one and one make two
And all I do I’ll do for you

There’s so much to learn
About this lonely world
As we ride from mountain high
Down to the sea
Once upon a time I loved a girl
And for a starry while she loved me

Now distance has no meaning
When we are far away
I know some summer evening
I’ll see your smile again

On this freight train we’re all riding
Sometimes seems we’re all alone
But just dream with me
And you will see
That soon we’ll be back home

How I love you, that’s no lie
Like a dove you’ll learn to fly
So tell me it’s true
That one and one make two
And all I do I’ll do for you
