    I cried so hard! It was a happy cry. My little cousin Reagan “Rea” was my childhood best friend & she was disconnected from our family because of her mom years ago. I missed her so much as I couldn’t talk to her and didn’t hear from her for years. last year she came back to us after turning 18. She moved in with me briefly and it was like everything we imagined when we were kids we were “all grown up”… this song spoke to me! Had to send it to her.

    [Verse 1]
    I know this seems overdue
    There's so much left I have to say to you
    And even if what we had is through
    Oh, there's so much left I have to say to you
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Because how I feel, how I feel
    When you're gone, it feels so real
    You and me in the palm of your hand
    Now I wish I could try to make you understand
    [Chorus]
    I would say 'Raye, I wish I had the words to tell you how I feel tonight
    Raye, I wish I could tell you that you make my world feel so bright
    Oh Raye, I wish I could tell you all the things you mean to me
    Raye, now won't you come back home and keep me some company?'
    [Verse 2]
    3AM calls out of the blue
    I don't mind, I wanna talk to you
    There's nothin' I would rather do, ooh
    Than put on a song and just dance with you, oh (Oh)
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Because how I feel, how I feel
    When you're gone, it feels so real
    You and me in the palm of your hand, yeah
    I wish I could try
    I wish I could try to make you understand
    [Chorus]
    I'd say 'Raye, I wish I had the words to tell you how I feel tonight
    Raye, I wish I could tell you that you make my world feel so bright
    Oh Raye, I wish I could tell you all the things you mean to me
    Raye, now won't you come back home and keep me some company?'
    [Bridge]
    ('Cause it's been too long)
    (Oh, it's been too long)
    It's been too long since I talked to you
    (It's been too long)
    It's been to long since I heard from you
    (Oh, it's been too long)
    (Oh, it's been too long)
    It's been too long, it's been too long
    (It's been too long)
    I wanna talk to you, won't you talk to me?
    (Oh, it's been too long, won't you talk to me?)
    Won't you talk to me?
    (It's been too long)
    (It's been too long)
    (Oh, it's been too long)
