I've Been There

I’ve Been There Words and music by Mario Tosto (ASCAP) (Written for my daughter, Clare, when she was eight or nine, then added the second verse when she was older.) [Verse 1] Did you find another fact of life has come and hit you? Did you try to dance with roses in your hair and did they stick you? Did you have to walk all alone all the way home Holding a tear in? Well, dear, that is where I’ve been Chorus I’ve been there, and I’m with you now I’ve been there and I’m with you Run off and play now Take what you need I could hold you all day, doll, but you’ve got to be Free [Verse 2] Funny how it seems, despite your dreams, you’re only human Stranded on another shore, there’s nothing more that you can do and Moving on on your own toward a river hitherto unknown Memory’s fountain is all you can count on
