Mid July
Tonight echoes all those nights before
But tonight I’m with you, I couldn’t ask for more
I know that feeling will come back again
When all else fails, that feeling is my friend
I’ve been great for a couple of years
Why do I find myself in tears?
I’ve been so dependent, I’ve been so afraid
Yet I knew it would rain on my parade
To tell the truth, I’m scared and lonely
I look back and say, “If only….”
Mourners weep while the rest of us sleep
But I weep with them tonight
She ran along side me, laughing so sweet
And today I wonder, “Where will we meet?”
Now we’re on different paths at the drop of a hat
And I do suspect that there’s more than just that
She stands so close yet so far away
I know it’s hard, but I really must stay
Soon, I will see all the truth being told
But when this will happen, I don’t know
To tell the truth, I’m scared and lonely
I look back and say, “If only….”
Mourners weep while the rest of us sleep
But I weep with them tonight
After this calms down, please take my hand
None of this should be, please understand
Don’t let this change you, you have to believe
I sense that you’ve got it ten times worse than me
Someday we’ll laugh at this as we live our dreams
Till then, remember, it ain’t what it seems
I can recall all the stuff we would say
Laughter forever, love to the grave
Live while we’re living, that’s why we’re here
Maybe tomorrow, you’ll drop all your fears
I do believe you can face this chin up
Smile like I told you, even if you’ve had enough
Still, with this hope that I rhyme for a poem
You make my everywhere feel like my home
On that note, you should realize why I’m blue
Under this night sky, I always think of you
To tell the truth, I’m scared and lonely
I look back and say, “If only….”
Mourners weep while the rest of us sleep
