I’m still here
I’m Helen

Don’t look at me that way
You’ll be sitting here some day

Look into my eyes
right into my soul
see me as a whole

I’m still here

Don’t pat my hand and say my dear
stop trying to cheer
what is it you fear

I’m Helen

Ah he’s adorable
my grandson, my only one
but I don’t want to see him here no more
he finds all this a bore
don’t want to be his chore
it makes my heart sore

I’m still here

Don’t look at me with pitying eyes
nervous laughter not a good guise
I’m ready to go
there’s people waiting for me, you know
It’s just the when I don’t know
I love ye so

I’m still here
I’m Helen
