This Year
(Ron C. Walters)

Ronald C. Walters & Michelle Lynn Myers-Walters
This song was written in honor of my friend, Christopher David Terry. On January 6, 1999, David was shot and killed at a car wash in Bethany, Oklahoma. He was a mentor, teacher and a young man who loved the Lord. Though he is dearly missed, we are 100% certain he looks down on us all, remembered with love. He is survived by his mother, Carolyn, brother Michael and sister, Leanne.
Rest In Peace, my dear, sweet friend.
Verse# 1:
The Christmas this year, won't be the same
There's no presents with your name again
The snow will fall outside, but it can't hide
The pain I feel inside of me
New Years Eve, my heart still grieves
I remember the way you smiled at me
Valentines Day, my heart went away
But in my dream, I think of you, your love was true.
Verse#2
Easter morning comes, I thank God for His Son
Who rose to give me hope today
Children laugh and play, what can I say
I wish one of them belonged to you and me
Fourth of July, as fireworks fly
I remember, the fire in your eyes
Thanksgiving Day, can't believe you went away
But I'm thankful, I had the chance to say...to say, Oh,Lord,
(This Year)
CHORUS:
This year, I live for you, now that you're gone
This year, I live for you, there's nothingelse I can do
Adlib:
This year I'm gonna watch the sun rise, I'm gonna see the ocean
as it sweeps toward the sky
I'm gonna hear the children's laughter, a new born baby's cry
I wish you were here this year
