Scared straight

Monica Ramirez 1981 (Montbello California)



I’m scared that you will go
My life will change and you will know
That in my life your number 1
Your my favorite person mire then some
Don’t tell me your life is done
If you and me just had some fun
Together forever the day will come
Where I’ll say goodbye
Believe that it will kill me inside
But I’ll know your that angel in the sky
I want you to know that I am sorry for the past and that my love will always last
Please take me with you take my soul
To be without you I don’t want to know….
