From the recording Give'em What They Want
If you have an actual CD, this is a "hidden" track; that is, not listed on the cover. I made this recording in my living room the morning I wrote it, just as a way to remember it. My daughter Dana had just gone back to college in Boston. I was going to re-record it, but something about this performance...I didn't think I could do it any better, so I included it the way it was.

Hard To Think of You (2:16)
--Patterson Barrett ©2017 (BMI) Criminal Tunes
It’s hard to think of you so far away
When there’s nothing I can do to keep you warm
Having you near all of these years
Now here’s a place that’s hard for me to stay
You had to change
I know the rules
Life’s a hard game, win or lose
I can see you now
Your smile lights up the room
Our time was up
You had to leave us all too soon
Now it’s hard to think of you so far away
When there’s nothing I can do to keep you safe
Having you near all of these years
Now here’s a place that’s hard for me to stay
It’s hard to think of you so far away
