Adam

I wrote this song years ago. I wanted to challenge myself to write a song with someone’s name in it. I was -and still am- a huge wrestling fan and a fan of Edge, whose real name is Adam Copeland. I thought Adam was a nice name so I chose that.

Close your eyes, Adam baby, and I’ll hold you close to me
Though I know that you’re so far away, I know we’ll always be
Feel your hand, holding my hand, my heart beating madly
Close your eyes, Adam baby, I will hold you close to me

We could drive around in your car, grab a bite along the way
or we could hang around in your room, maybe lie in bed all day
My mind is on you, always on you, wherever I will go
I don’t know since when I loved you, but I just love you so

Close your eyes, Adam baby, and I’ll hold you close to me
Though I know that you’re so far away, I know we’ll always be
Feel your hand, holding my hand, my heart beating madly
Close your eyes, Adam baby, I will hold you close to me

You told me that you’re leaving ’cause you found somebody new
You told her that you love her and she said she loved you too
So I held on for a little while and then I let you go
and I regret not telling you how much I love you so

Close your eyes, Adam baby, and I’ll hold you close to me
Though I know that you’re so far away, I know we’ll always be
Feel your hand, holding my hand, my heart beating madly
Close your eyes, Adam baby, I will hold you close to me

Do you know you’ve made me happy, until you went away?
I hope I wake one morning to a bright and sunny day
You got up and walked away from me, left me all alone
I don’t know if you’re coming back, Adam please come home

Close your eyes, Adam baby, and I’ll hold you close to me
Though I know that you’re so far away, I know we’ll always be
Feel your hand, holding my hand, my heart beating madly
Close your eyes, Adam baby, I will hold you close to me

I talked to you for a short, short time but you faded at goodbye
Stared blankly at the phone, then you knocked and I said, “Hi.”
I kissed your lips so soft and sweet, you had me at hello.
I’ll love you forever, I just thought you oughta know.
