Todd's Secret

So many people knew Todd. They expected jokes, humor and laughter. What you all did not know is he was a closet songwriter. He loved to sing to me all of his songs - songs about longing, lost love and wanting happiness. I asked him to write me a song, he never did. I think he only could write when he was heartbroken and sad. So, I think I truly made him happy and loved him for who he was. That thought makes me happy. I have been listening to a few tapes he had recorded many years ago, before I met the adult Todd -- oh, how I wish I found him sooner....

Send to me a woman

Send to me a woman
A woman I can love
Send to me a woman, Lord
Send her from above

A woman who will love this man
All his life through
Oh, send to me a woman, Lord
A woman who won't make me blue

Sometimes life goes on
Things ... they seem to change
Nothin' ever stays the same
... it was back then

So now we are a lookin'
For a brand new day
So send to me a woman, Lord
A woman who won't go away

Send to me a woman
A woman I can love
Send to me a woman, Lord
Send her from above

A woman who will understand
How to love this man
Send to me a woman, Lord
A woman to love this man
