Well, I'm going to be singing country tonight. *gasps from audience* I know that seems out of character for me,
Gurthang, to do, but I hope you can forgive me.
I'll be singing as
Sam, who is thinking of his friendship with Frodo and lamenting over his departure from ME, which took place long before the song was written. The song will be called What Hurt the Most. I hope you like it. (
What Hurts the Most* by Rascal Flatts)
I can take the rain on the roof of this hobbit hole
That don’t bother me
It only makes a few tears now when it comes back to my mind
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though remembering with you gone seems so empty
There are days every now and again I pretend to forget
But I can never really
What hurt the most
Was being so close
And watching you sail away
Because you couldn't stay
And still wondering
If I'll see you again
Because you are there to stay
And I might not go that way.
It’s hard to go through life without you, knowing what you did for them
But they don't know
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I know
Still harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ without their thanks
But I know if we could do it over
You'd still trade give away what you did to save all of Middle-Earth
and without them knowing
What hurt the most
Was being so close
And watching you sail away
Because you couldn't stay
And still wondering
If I'll see you again
Because you are there to stay
And I might not go that way.
What hurt the most
Was being so close
And watching you sail away
Because you couldn't stay
And still wondering
If I'll see you again
Because you are there to stay
And I might not go that way.
Because you are there to stay
I hope I can go that way.
*There is some dialogue at the end of that recording. I don't exactly know what it is, but I found it a little funny.
