Ronnie C - Ain't Seen You In A While Lyrics

It seems like so long since the last time we spoke
You were still in college and I was dead broke
You just moved out, I was living with my folks
Couldn't get a job, plus my license was revoked
I grew up hard headed, I broke a lot of laws
But you accepted me for me even with all of my flaws
And that I'll always cherish, those feelings never perished
Dreams of gondolas in venice, french kissing in paris
I wanted to share this while it was on my mind
I wish that I told you that I loved you a lot more often
But you have to understand it just wasn't our time
I wish you could have saved me from the streets, see I was lost in
Some things I should have avoided, my priorities were screwed
My life was in limbo, my thought process was askewed
I still knew what you needed, and I was sure it wasn't me
Years later, you're the only one I wanna see
So I'm just trying to find you
I ain't seen you in a while
I just wanna make you laugh
Plus I miss seeing you smile
You've gotta forgive me for acting like I never cared
Dream about you a lot but when I wake you're never there
You needed a man, and I was still a boy
But now I'm grown, and to this day no one's filled your void
I look through our old pics and I can't help but grin
And on the flipside I still wonder how you've been
I wanted to say sorry for the times I made you upset
But I can't find you in the yellow pages or on the net
It's driving me insane, and I've been hurting lately
Wanted to call your sister, but I'm pretty sure she hates me
I never ever thought locating you would be this hard
Rode by your mom's and saw a for sale sign in the yard
My better sense is telling me to end the search
And I promise that I would if this didn't hurt
As much as it does, and why all no why
We do things like this after they have gone awry
So I'm just trying to find you
I ain't seen you in a while
I just wanna make you laugh
Plus I miss seeing you smile
The other day I was in the store picking up groceries
Then a familiar voice spoke to me
I turned around and I saw your mother
In the frozen food section shopping with your brother
She asked me how I'd been, I said no complaints
She was telling me that she had just retired from the bank
After thirty long years, she got we she deserved
Then you came to mind, and I finally built up the nerve
I asked her how you were, and then her eyes watered
She said next week, it'll be two years since she lost her daughters
Your sister was driving, no seat belts for protection
The car got split in half after she ran through the intersection
But you were still alive, they could hear you shout
But no one had extinguishers to put the fire out
I wish that I had found you
Because I ain't seen you in a while
I miss hearing you laugh
I swear to god I miss your smile
I wish that I had found you
Ain't seen you in some time
And maybe if you were with me
I would have been the one to drive

It seems like so long since the last time we spoke
You were still in college and I was dead broke
You just moved out, I was living with my folks
Couldn't get a job, plus my license was revoked
I grew up hard headed, I broke a lot of laws
But you accepted me for me even with all of my flaws
And that I'll always cherish, those feelings never perished
Dreams of gondolas in venice, french kissing in paris
I wanted to share this while it was on my mind
I wish that I told you that I loved you a lot more often
But you have to understand it just wasn't our time
I wish you could have saved me from the streets, see I was lost in
Some things I should have avoided, my priorities were screwed
My life was in limbo, my thought process was askewed
I still knew what you needed, and I was sure it wasn't me
Years later, you're the only one I wanna see
So I'm just trying to find you

You've gotta forgive me for acting like I never cared
