MEANING TO CALL YOU (For ‘Dolly’ aka Theresa Brundage) I recall the last time we spoke on the phone Talkin’ about Jesus and goin’ home After all, you were ninety-five at the time You were sweet, Dolly as a perfect rhyme CHORUS I’d been meaning to call you I’d been meaning to call you Now, you’re gone Just gone We met under a strange circumstance Searchin’ for my mother, a dastardly dance But then, there you were, a distant cousin Arms open wide, heart, a dozen, mm-m I’d been meaning to call you I’d been meaning to call you Now, you’re gone Just gone Music Like a song, just gone You invited me up to Danvers, Mass Dear, you just know I couldn’t pass Introduced me to my Armenian family A feast filled with food, laughter and harmony, mm-m (spoken) Well, finally found your obit online A video of your life filled with sunshine And I was proud to add a line or two You made me one of you, oooh-oh mm-m…mm-m…mm-m…mm..m I’d been meaning to call you I’d been meaning to call you Now, you’re gone Just gone.. © 2026 Renee La Chapelle – All Rights Reserved
