A Little Bit Me...A Little Bit You Or My Poetic Tribute to The Monkees

Today Davy Jones was cremated. At 66 years old he was the youngest Monkee, and the poster man for the kind teen idol..the one who never got arrested, never did drugs, never had a sex scandal or became fodder for TMZ...he did however, die too young. He left friends, family, and fans wondering what life will be like without Davy...I never met them, only through the television and through the radio, but for the last week I have felt like I have adopted Micky, Peter and Michael into my own musical family. And so, for them, I have written a little something from my heart.

                                                          When Can I Wake Up Again

     When can I wake up again
   From this nightmare that doesn't want to end
  Why can't I go with you
  Why have I lost my friend?

     When can I wake up again?
 Hear that friendly voice
Can anyone tell me
 What happened to good-bye?

     You were supposed to be here
     Supposed to out live me
     Now the only place I see you
     Are in bittersweet memories

    Do you know how much I loved you
     Did you truly understand
    That even though I never said it
    You gave me more than anyone else can

    I never got to till you
    Just what you mean to me
    So when can I wake up again
    Just to see my friend

   Your light is shines brighter now
    Than the stars and sun can shine
    You are where there is no more pain
    But can you get rid of mine?

    I love you now and forever
    Til the end of time
    I don't wanna wake up right now
   In my dreams you are still alive

   Go now sky jockey
   The horses are saddled and ready to fly
  My final words to you are this:
  Good Ride Manchester Cowboy...Good Ride
