"It Was You"
Words and Music by Peter Katz

It’s a holiday today
Spent the morning sleeping in
Read the whole newspaper
Can’t remember (the) last time I did
It’s so quiet in this house
Gone the rush there used to be
Not that all the noise
Really ever bothered me
I was somewhere in the mix
Had my place there in the race
Love in my heart and on my face

Had my home, through and through
Had my work, always to do
Had my dreams, all come true
Had my life, it was you

There’s this question in my head
Ringing louder every day
What am I still doing here anyway?
Don’t feel sorry for myself
Just think my time has come
I had my glory days and now they’re done
Want to lay down in the pages
Of our photographs
Where I was there beside you, man you made me laugh

Had my home, through and through
Had my work, always to do
Had my dreams, all come true
Had my life, it was you

And I’d do it all again
Send my heart back 50 years
Though I knew one day
Time would send me right back here
Without you my standing stone
My ringer in the fight
I could go 100 rounds
With you there in my sight
But now the bell has rung
And everyone went home
While I was left to watch you fade to skin and bone
I know you had to go
Your number called too many times
Just wish I could have been beside you in that line

Had my home, through and through
Had my work, always to do
Had my dreams, all come true
Had my life, it was you
