Story Behind The Song
The movie trailer for Henry Poole is Here inspired this song. My mom knows Luke Wilson's mom quite well--they are chums--and I thought it would be fun to write a song for the movie and let our two moms "chat about it."

Lyrics
I SAW YOU (Henry Poole is Here)
copyright 2008 Ross Vick
If there was ever a once in a lifetime changing event
It would be when I saw your face in side my fence
They think they see something holy upon my wall
I've been so dumb and blind I can't see anything at all
And then I saw you
Saw what you can do
And started to thaw
And then I saw you
Saw what you can do
I started to fall
Everyone is hoping for a miracle here
All I wanted be alone and drink my beer
Mired in my misery forget my fate
And then you woke me up before it was too late
And then I saw you
Saw what you can do
And started to thaw
And then I saw you
Saw what you can do
I started to fall
Now my life's full of strangers I don't understand
They invade my life thinking I owe them a plan
Henry Poole is Here and is becoming a new man
I'll do the best I can
And then I saw you
Saw what you can do
I started to fall
