Hey, it’s been a while since I have seen you.
The time before, you made me kind of mad.
Didn’t think this one would be the last I’d see your face.
And now, I’m wishing for those moments back.
You never know a precious moment
Until that moment’s gone.
Through your memory, I’ll continue holding on.
Because I’m so
Thankful…for the smile upon your face.
Yes, I’m thankful.
All our good times won’t be erased.
Though the sun has set, I won’t forget
How much you meant to me,
And when my time is done, I hope one day I’ll see
You again.
The day you left, I felt so cold and empty.
It hit me like a roundhouse to the chest.
What made it worse was feeling deeply guilty.
So long ago I should’ve laid my feelings to rest.
But, when I think about it all again,
The weight is lifted now.
I had one last chance to make you laugh and smile.
And I’m so
Thankful…for the smile upon your face.
Yes, I’m thankful.
All our good times won’t be erased.
Though the sun has set, I won’t forget
How much you meant to me,
And when my time is done, I hope one day I’ll see
Well, if I had the chance,
I’d have so much to say,
And I would celebrate and cherish you every day.
You were always there for me,
But it took losing you for me to see
I took you for granted,
And though I still grieve,
I’m still
Thankful…for the smile upon your face.
Yes, I’m thankful.
All our good times won’t be erased.
Though the sun has set, I won’t forget
How much you meant to me,
And when my time is done, I hope one day I’ll see
You again

This 5th solo effort just may be Substantial's best project to date. It features many notable singles, including "Ghost In A Cell", featuring myself and Malcolm Jackson. Thank me now. Stephanie Gayle
This 4th instrumental project is the first in the series to include all new original tracks, and the sound of each varies in style and delivery. It's lush and further solidifies Tone's talent. Stephanie Gayle
Jay-Z did say that "30's the new 20", and SoSoon embodies that sentiment. Bars on bars on...you get me. This proud Queens native delivers and does not disappoint. Stephanie Gayle
