Story Behind The Song
A member of my extended family had died suddenly, and too young, so the song is about how the parents must feel having lost their child. On a rainy Saturday, I sat down at the piano and literally wrote this song as fast as if it were already finished and playing out of speakers. The music, lyrics and melody came rushing out of me at once. It was almost to hard to take.

Lyrics
How Long
Music & lyrics by Joseph A.Pesce ©2006
Come again
Through my window
And wake me from my sleep
Tell me I?m not dreamin?
Take me
Where you found piece of mind
Cuz I?ve lost all of mine
And my reason for going on
?Hello / Goodbye?
Can?t be the story of our lives
So won?t you please tell me
When will the sun shine again?
How long, How long?
When will the birds sing again?
How long, How long?
Till I find a way to go on
Everyday, means nothing to me
No blue in the sky or sea
No colors left, just shadows
You were my morning
My sunshine, my rain
All those beautiful things
that life had given to me
But now they?re gone
and all I?m left is numb
So won?t somebody tell me
(bridge)
If heaven doesn?t want you
I?ll take you back
Just come back to me
(chorus)
