Story Behind the Song
Wrote this song for my mother. It's from the point of view of my father, speaking to my mother. He had passed away right before their 40th anniversary, after an illness. Wrote it at 3:30am, in Riverside Park, NYC, after leaving the hospital one night, when I just had a feeling my father was gonna die that night. He did, and the song lives on in his memory. Peace.
Lyrics
All That I Know
{Music and Lyrics by Rock Wilk}
{verse}
Daddy had a party, but he couldn't stay
He felt real bad about it, here's what he wanted to say
He said "with you in my life, it feels like everyday's my dream
I feel so good about it, man it's got to be real"
I know that it's just another day
You never had to speak of love, cause I knew you that way
I've been thinking about, where tomorrow's gonna be
And where is the love, and where is that other place?
{Chorus}
All I Know is that you've alway's been my lover
All I Know is, you'll be ok
All I Know
You've been everything, you're All That I Know
{verse}
I'm just looking for that shady tree
You know you'll be there also, you mean so much to me
I could never resist what I never could believe
I really found a perfect love, a hero to me
I'm not asking for eternity
Time would be so wonderful, still so much to see
I've been thinking about, where tomorrow's gonna be
And where is the love, and where is that other place?
{chorus}
{Bridge}
Want to take you to all the right places
I just can't even see the day you'd look older to me
What's on the other side, my frustration
A comfort to me, I've had love
{verse}
Daddy said it's just another day
put the pieces all together, time is that way
I've been thinking about, where tomorrow's gonna be
And where is the love, and where is that other place?
