is that song written by Carly Simon -"Embrace Me, You Child" with video
on youtube. This is the song that reminded me of your
childhood -couldn't get a video for it back then until I looked for it
again -now a few years later . Except for the different parent dying in
this song, the abandoment issue is expressed so
thoughtfully through Carly's child- eye.

At night (IN BED) I heard God whisper lullabye
while Daddy's next door whistled whiskey tunes
and sometimes when I wanted, they would harmonize
Embrace me you child, you're a child of mine
and I'm leaving everything I am to you
Go chase the wild and night time streets sang Daddy
and God sang, Pray the devil doesn't get to you
I thought together they must sing the moon away
I thought that they must know each other well
for the magic that they made, when they played
wasn't lost between their heaven and their hell
Then one night Daddy died and went to heaven
and God came down to earth and slipped away
I pretended no to (KNOW) I'd been abandoned
But no-one sang the night into the day
and later night time songs came back again
but the singers don't compare with those I knew
and I never figured out where God and Dady went
but there was nothing those two couldn't do
