[Intro] [Answering machine]: You have...one old message. Wednesday, 6:04AM. "Hi, this is Vicky please leave a message. Thank you bye." [Sample]: You were my first sweet love My love, love love love And set my child like dreams Like kings and I'll be a queen Don't tell my face it's never too late to love [Hook]: You were my first sweet love My love, love love love [Verse One]: Before I even knew what love was you loved me for me I was conceived from love, you believed Jesus sent me from thee above Doc said you couldn't conceive kids, but did you believe the scrub? Nah, you beat the odds didn't cease to dream, not even once Pictures I would see of us, even when it was just the three of us Without dad, saying she's with none eatin' crumbs Dad left, came back, left again He wasn't seein' us You let us know it's not because he didn't love either of us Kept no secrets from us That's why we respected her so much when we were just young She was me and my sister's air, couldn't breath it enough Now memories of her love is all we have to breath in our lungs If I could only hear her voice say "Petey" just once... Shit, I'm kidding myself, that still wouldn't be enough I feel like Heaven's not nice enough a place, wiping off my face Cause you're not here to brighten up my days When we were here together You used to warn me that you won't be here forever That mere thought brought me fear and terror And now I'm just here dealing with whatever the weather delivers Whether I'm bitter, I'm never a quitter And though I can't hand deliver this letter Me reading it out loud helps me handle this better But now your spirit is free Your memory will forever be in the lyrics of me Anyone who hears it will see that [Hook]: You were my first sweet love My love, love love love [Verse Two]: Had her funeral in a borrowed shirt Borrowed shoes, borrowed tie Wearing a borrowed watch cause we livin' off borrowed time My sister called me early on May 6th With bad news and my world has been gray since Took the blue pill and got hurled in The Matrix You've been on my mind every day since Life hasn't made sense I try to stay calm, think light but I stay tense It's like I can't mom, I stick right in that same mess I get good news and wanna call, forget your gone By the time I dial the first two digits, I miss you mom You got me talkin' to the air Hopin' that you hear Come haunt me if you dare Respond to me from there See I know better, I just want my mom to be aware Honestly, I'll probably never be prepared For you to ever leave from here But Heaven needs you there, you're forever in my prayers Till that one day I meet you in the air Amen ma [Hook]: You were my first sweet love My love, love love love [Outro]: Dedicated to my heart, my whole soul...Vicky Lee Nelson. Love you ma Rest in peace ma
