Here I Am
Reckoning with Regret: Johnny Reid's Apology to Virginia in 'Here I Am'
Lyrics
I'm so sorry I left you virginia
I express regret for leaving you, Virginia.
I'm so sorry I left you my love
I apologize for leaving, my love.
Crying there in the rain
You were crying in the rain.
Just saying my name I was in a rush
You called my name while I was in a hurry.
And I'm asking forgiveness virginia
I seek forgiveness, Virginia.
And I'm not ashamed to ask please
I'm not ashamed to ask for it, please.
Oh for so many days I missed you're pretty face you're what I need
For many days, I missed your beautiful face; you're what I need.
I'm a changed man here I am
I have changed; here I am.
Here I am can you find me within you somewhere within you virginia
I'm present, can you recognize me within yourself, Virginia?
Here I am do you know how I missed ya how I longed to kiss ya virginia
Do you know how much I missed you and longed to kiss you, Virginia?
And me without you is more than I can stand here I am
Being without you is unbearable for me; here I am.
Was a long long journey to get here ain't it funny how the truth it comes out on the streets of sante fe the wind blew your mind out loud
The journey to this point was long, and it's ironic how the truth is revealed in the streets of Santa Fe, where the wind loudly blew your mind.
So I heard it back here I am
I heard what happened, and now I'm back; here I am.
here I am with arms wide open came all this way home back virginia here I am down on my knees oh please believe me virginia my heart it cries just for the chance here I am
I've returned with open arms, coming back home to Virginia; I plead on my knees for you to believe my heart cries for this chance.
here I am (3x) take my hand
Reiteration of being present and an invitation to take my hand.
I'm so sorry I left you virginia I'm so sorry I left you my love
Reiteration of apologies for leaving, both as Virginia and as my love.
Here I am can you find me within you somwhere within you virginia here I am down oh you plz believe virginia my heart it cries
I'm here, can you find me within yourself, Virginia? I'm on my knees, pleading for your belief; my heart cries for this chance.
Just for the chance me without you is more than I can stand
Being without you is more than I can endure; here I am.
Here I am (3x)
Reiteration of being present and possibly emphasizing it.
