GOOD FRIEND
dear good friend,
I cannot seem to sleep
I’m afraid the thought of you
will be
when I wake just a dream.
how do I hold your heart
without a hand to hold?
float off to venus or mars,
maybe there I will know.
how you feel in this world.
if you would become my girl.
LOOKED AT YOU
I looked at you,
you turned away.
I looked at you,
you darkened the day.
couldn’t see me with those eyes.
couldn’t give me any time.
I looked at you,
to see the world.
I looked at you,
beautiful girl.
couldn’t see me with those eyes.
couldn’t be the one you find.
I looked at you,
and saw your soul.
I looked at you,
we’ll never know.
couldn’t see me with those eyes,
love never born had just died.
couldn’t see me with those eyes,
love never born, just a lie.
MY LAST TWO CENTS
“Put in your two cents”
this is what I’m always told.
if you want to speak your mind,
you have to pay the toll.
What are we all coming to,
when nothing is without cost.
no more helping hands,
no more penny for our thoughts.
teaching us to manage money,
after every penny is spent.
how can we pay to learn,
we can’t even pay the rent.
somebody with some sense,
somebody with a quarter,
please help us fill our wallets,
so we can have some order!
BECAUSE OF LOVE
You held me the day I was born,
Do you remember?
I don’t
Let me hold you,
I can help you remember,
when you can’t.
Because of Love
You taught me how to feed myself
Now let me make sure you are nourished.
You held my hand when I learned to walk,
Now take my arm when we walk
Because of Love
You taught me to read,
Now let me be your eyes.
You taught me how to drive
Let me drive you, so you stay safe.
You taught me to make good decisions,
Let me help you decide.
Because of Love
You taught me to take care of others.
Let me take care of you,
It’s because of Love
