(Kluso) Tollini © 2004 (1st Verse) Mornings just don’t seem the same the sun it don’t shine like it used to and I don’t believe I’m gonna go insane (but I just might be a little crazy) Yes its true Now I just might have to leave here Alone Cuz I can’s seem to get rid of this fever for so long (Pre-Chorus) I grew up in this town as boy but its not my home (Chorus) Seems like forever and a day….since you been gone (2nd Verse) Coffee it don’t taste the same Without your smile and a little sugar An’ I try my best to make it through the day But my friends…they all see the difference Now I don’t to pull out and leave here Alone But I find myself falling even deeper into a hole (Pre-Chorus) an’ I realize you’re so far away from your home (Chorus) and it seems like forever and a day….since you been gone (Bridge) Now I don’t know how I’m gonna reach you But tomorrow is sure to come So I’ll find a place where I think I might meet you And wait for you to come along ‘cuz I know you’re sure to come along Seems like forever (and a day) since you been gone (Interlude) (3d Verse) Your face it seems to fade away like when night swallows up the sun An’ I try to hold on every day but my life always seems to take another turn And its been so long since I hit the road alone The old place just don’t look the same since its been sold (Pre-Chorus) An’ I fold up all o’our memories in a place I found in my dreams of home (Chorus/Outtro) and it seems like forever and a day….since you been gone and it seems like forever and a day….since you been gone Seems like forever and a day Why’d you ever have to go away Please come back an’tell me that you’ll stay I’m so alone

(Kluso) Tollini Producer Credits: BOTE Productions Publisher Credits: N/A Performance Credits: Kluso Label Credits: N/A Description Short Song Description: Loss, Lonliness, Depression. Long Song Description: This song is intended for the listener to make their own determination of exactly what /who it is about. On the surface the words express the feelings of missing somebody who is gone. It does not really express why they are lonely or why this person is "gone" - trip, left relationship, death?? That is up to the listener to place their own connection to it. A deeper twist on the song, is that you don't really know if the "singer" is talking about somebody else or talking about himself, i.e., the person who is lost or has "left" could be themselves - in other words, through their anxiety and depression they have lost contact with the world, their past/present/future and with who they are -- That is actually the real intent of the song (which I didn't figure out myself until I finished writing it) -- that we have to find out who we are to avoid losing ourselves in living our difficult lives. Story Behind the Song: This song started from a wholly different direction and inspiration. I had a friend who was deployed to Iraq for about 9 months -- In an email to her a couple of months after she had left for Iraq I said to her "seems like forever and a day since you been gone"...then, "hey that would make a great song" Next day...out popped the song -- althoough it obviously transformed itself from its original idea of missing a friend to something deeper. I purposely intended this to be an acoustic folk-type song to try to convey that idea of lonliness and depression -- hope that came through for you.
