It’s the lines that precedes it that hits me…when I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye…I turned to look but it was gone, I cannot put my finger on it now. All the possibilities you see as a child before Momma puts all her fears into you.

Hes so warm and wonderful, and secretly I think the pains of his life come thru in the sadness of his voice, no matter how gracefully and full of class taste and style he tries to hide it. I start my everyday with this warm wonderful loving voice, he makes me laugh, cry, but most of all he allows me too fully embrace the fullness of my life, without ever knowing how deeply he touches all of us.

Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?) Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home? Come on now I hear you're feeling down Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again Relax I'll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb I have become comfortably numb Okay (okay, okay, okay) Just a little pinprick There'll be no more, ah But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb Songwriters: David Jon Gilmour / Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)
