about

Like Vibes, this song was fully inspired by my teenage daughter, who graduated from high school during the time the album was being recorded. She is also heading off to college, so this song is from the parent's perspective. It's a warm, loving (positive) message from parent-to-grown child, that may trigger tears for some parents in the same situation of someone "leaving the nest".

lyrics

It only seems like yesterday
18 years ago
You changed my life
My how time flies.

It's been quite a journey
One that will go on
18 years of laughs and tears
But soon you'll be gone.

I am not ready, not ready.

I promise you
You'll always be
Forever in my heart
No matter where you are.

And promise me
Be all you can be
Remember who you are
Remember that there is
Someone who loves you, loves you.

All that now has past us by
Can we press the breaks and make more time
I'm not ready for good byes
How can I carry on?

Hey! What happened?
I'm missing you already.
As you're taking on the world
Don't forget about me
I'll always love you, love you.

I promise you
You'll always be
Forever in my heart
No matter where you are.

And promise me
Be all you can be
Remember who you are
Remember that there is
Someone who loves you, loves you
Forever.

Before my memory fades
Let us share a few more days together
Before you leave
I am not ready, not ready

I promise you
You'll always be
Forever in my heart
No matter where you are.

And promise me
Be all you can be
Remember who you are
Remember who you are

I promise you
You'll always be
Forever in my heart
No matter where you are.

And promise me
Be all you can be
Remember who you are
Remember who you are.

Michael Barrett Dixon Richmond, Virginia

MBD started composing music and writing songs at age 13. He refined his craft in college (two music composition degrees) and has never looked back.

Most albums blend many genres, so it is difficult to pin one on this musician. A synth is usually not far away, but MBD has dabbled in jazz, electronic, soundtrack, alternative, rock, and pop. You name it, he has probably written something in it. ... more
