[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
