James Cain songs
I still see him chasing… little hand shadows..in his crib
He’d see my face and smile..then his tiny legs would kick
To soon he was crawling across the wooden floor
He turned and caught me laughing….and then he crawled a little more
And the Wheels Of Life stopped rolling
I felt God’s love when I reached out to hold him
I held him close then he was gone
The truth hit me like a tree falling…we’re not here………that long
The years flew by and soon…. he was off with friends having fun
Everyday’s a party…….. when your wild and young
One night ………slamming breaks …..a crash and it was done
The Doctor said I’m sorry there’s no hope for your Son
And the Wheels Of Life stopped rolling
I felt God’s love when I reached out to hold him
I held him close then he was gone
The truth hit me like a tree falling…….we’re not here………that long
Why just the other day… I saw his shadow on a wall
An I remembered him crawling across the floor….. and out in the hall
I could see his face so clear …I felt him there… and I could hear his little laugh
Suddenly I realized our little Shawny Bug would not want us living in the past
And the Wheels Of Life stopped rolling
I felt God’s love when I reached out to hold him
I held him close then he was gone
The truth hit me like a tree falling…….we’re not here………that long
The truth hit me like a tree falling…….we’re not here………that long
We’re not here that long.
The painting was a creation of a cousin. This song was one that I wrote 10 years ago and could not complete until I saw her painting his picture on the Mural wall. George put his skills into the song and I was able with his help finish the song. Thanks George.
