Tell us your story: I was close to the Oklahoma City bombing and after 9/11 and watching Diane Sawyers last night on Primetime I wrote this song for those that lost. THAT ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER BY B. GAIL SEYMOUR COPYWRITE PENDING My eyes fluttered opened As he pulled me from the rubble Wonder if he knew I was watching my world tumble I can give the world a song But cannot look upon my lover I can gaze upon the heavens And roll around in the clover Cause that one day in September Changed my life forever Took away the crystal clear And replaced it with the somber When will the tears finally dry And be replaced with the laughter God... please help me to recover Oh God... please help me to recover It's funny, I can jump a plane to Vegas Or ride a donkey through the canyon, I can wake up every morning But have no understanding... Give a bright smile upon demand But I didn't go with the others Left behind with a damaged heart And the world upon my shoulders.. Because of that one day in September that changed my life forever took away the crystal clear And replaced it with the somber When will the tears finally dry And be replaced with the laughter God..please help me recover... Oh God, please help me recover... I finally looked upon his fce The one that I lived for I might wake up tomorrow But without his woarm embrace... I waited desperately everyday For that final closure Then it occurred to me that over,,, isn't really over... Because that one day in September That changed my life forever Took away the crystal clear And replaced it with the somber.. the tears are finally drying I catch myself slightly smiling.. Over those precious moments They did not steal away... I am getting better everyday At hiding the soul deep pain.. Please God lay your hands upon me Please bless those we can not see.. But God, Dear God,,, please help me to recover Oh God,,, I pray, please help us recover.... From me to all of those who lost.. And those of us whom lost by your loss... My prayers are with you.
