Here it is - ten years later
Since you entered Heaven's gate
It is still hard to believe sometimes
That it was in the hands of fate
When I look back as I often do
I take time to think of you for a while
I still remember you on stage
And I still remember your playing style
I can still hear the music you made
On my boombox when I play the radio
And I play the tapes with you on guitar
Then I watch you on a couple of videos
It's the only times I can make you come back
And it's those times I wish you were alive
And it's those times I sadly realize
That it's the Leps and the fans who've survived
All of us are left with such a legacy
Of memories of a time that's now past
You left us with a certain spell
And it's a spell that's been eternally cast
We can not forget you - no, not ever
Your face, your body and your hair
Sometimes when I go see the Leps these days
I just wish that you could be there
Somehow - when I do see these shows
I feel your presence - I know you're near
Then I have this image of you up on stage
This image that is so perfectly clear
After the show is over I go home
Then I sit and wonder why you had to die
All of the wishing and hoping I go through
Only leads me to break down and cry
But Steve - I can tell you this truth
It's been hard for us to carry on
We still miss and love you so much
Even though that it has been ten years gone.
Written with love,
Debbie C.
