#193 MUSIC BECOMES MY TRUE COMPANION

My original song sheet, which is different from what I recorded. I did use a lot of the chords and lyrics that are on it.
–RETREAT
Copyright 2018 by Judy Unger
–
Retreat is where I go when I am sad
All my tears let me know
I long for you and miss you so
–
Retreat is my escape from the world
I withdraw and suddenly
I feel you surround me
–
At those times, I’d wish you were near
and then, you’d appear
but you were only in my mind
only in my mind
you were only in my mind
–
Retreat is when a song
can soothe my soul
A melody fills my heart
reminding me we’re not apart
–
Retreat is when I find peacefulness
My music has begun
to be my true companion
–
At those times, I’d wish you were near
and then, you’d appear
but you were only in my mind
only in my mind
you were only in my mind
only in my mind

With songwriting I cannot pretend. Singing allows me to share my true feelings. Music healed me of so much pain!
