40 Years - Johnny Punish
Published 2024-01-21
They say if you mention a person who's passed
They will live forever well here I am
Her name is Marcelle been gone for 40 years
But my angel in disguise suddenly appears
Over my head when I sleep at night
And I'm all alone by the fireside
Momma I can see you can you feel my song
I sing it everyday since you've been gone
40 years
I still remember your face like it yesterday
40 years
I've been singing this song so I could get along
Wipe Your Tears
Cause I did real good just like I promised you
40 years
And you're still here with me and will be forevermore
Oh I feel like I'm 20 and it's 1984
Amazing days oh how I miss them for sure
But now I'm in the mirror and I see an old man
Where has time gone I still don't understand
Because you've never left me always by my side
I raised 3 kids after they said you died
You don't know them but they look just like you
I see your face in everything they do
40 years
I still remember your face like it yesterday
40 years
I've been singing this song so I could get along
Wipe Your Tears
Cause I did real good just like I promised you
40 years
And you're still here with me and will be forever
More than you'll ever know
The universe is full of the love you gave long ago
From a billion miles away
Touching our world every day
Now the grand kids see your lovely picture on the wall
I tell them she's your angel so they stand tall
You're very special people with an angel loving you
Just look above and see her smiling at you
40 years
I still remember your face like it yesterday
40 years
I've been singing this song so I could get along
Wipe Your Tears
Cause I did real good just like I promised you
40 years
And you're still here with me and will be forevermore
40 years
40 years
And you're still here with me and will be forevermore
