THOSE OLD NEAPOLITAN SONGS

THOSE OLD NEAPOLITAN SONGS

If you were here
Mamma
We would listen
You and I
To those melodies
That
Made you cry
And
Think of times gone by
I would wonder
As I always did
At that sweet melancholy
I used to see
In your tired  eyes.
Now Mamma
If you  were still here
Would you sing those songs
For me.
Songs that touched your  soul
Songs we listen to
When we grow old.
But Mamma
I need to do this on my own
And if
You were still here with me
I couldn’t sleep my eternity
Peacefully
Knowing  I left you  alone.
