Story Behind The Song
I was at a women's retreat and had the privelege of hearing many of their life experiences. I was so moved by all of the stories that this song was written by them and for them.

Lyrics
Just Me
Verse 1:
When the lights go out and the doors are locked
And the TV?s off and the noise has stopped? Just Me
When the baby room?s been re-painted white
I can?t feel her kick anymore at night? Just me
When the ring comes off and the paper?s signed
And the car is his, but the house is mine just?
Chorus:
Me with the memories stuck in my head
Of the things that I?ve thought that I wished I had said
Of the life that I?ve lived and one I wish I?d led
Of the wishing and hoping and dreaming of when
I could stand on my own and look life in the face
With courage and confidence, wholeness, and grace be free? Just Me
Verse 2:
When the rooms are clean ?cuz the kids moved out
And I?m free to live, but I?m not sure how? Just Me
When my desk is cleared and the office door
After 30 years isn?t mine anymore? Just Me
When it?s visiting hours but he don?t recall
What he did, who he was, who I am at all, just? (to chorus)
Bridge:
When my new platinum VISA and cheap table wine
And take-out Chinese food won?t fill me this time
I?ve got to get back to the truth of who I used to be ?cuz?
Verse 3:
When the lights go out on this earthen shore
And I stand at the edge facing heaven?s door? Just Me
Just Me
