Dear (w/m Jim Proctor)
Sara dear, where are you?
Is it so far you cannot hear me?
Laura dear, where’d you go?
Don’t you know you belong near me?
Anna, are you sleeping?
Is it keeping you away from here?
Emma, are you waking?
Is it making sense, this song?
Do you long to find this love of mine so near?
Nora dear, who were you?
That little girl you grew away from?
Marla dear, who are you?
Have you a star to guide your way home?
Ava, are you running?
Are you coming soon from far away?
Julia, is there meaning?*
Is it unseeming to sing this song of love?
Is it so wrong to write you’ll hold me tight some day?
Sara dear, where are you?
Laura dear, where did you go?
Anna, are you sleeping?
Emma, are you waking?
Nora, dear, who were you?
Marla, dear, who are you?
Ava, are you running?
Julia, is there meaning?
