Brush me down always new Retreat to me when without a clue Throw me away when through
Tag: remember
I Retreated
I retreated
Going backwards and cleaning up
what I wanted
needed
to leave behind
All that baggage
for someone else’s door
Those true brave souls
As if God said, “Okay.”
To throw it all away
would have made for a better day
A way to start anew
Amidst the chosen few
So, I still have pity
to wallow through
To see it again now
To see it again then
It reminds me
that I can’t run
I retreated
Again
Beautiful Friend
Let’s go back
to the beginning
Oh, when we both got caught
but it was me who was sinning
With us
it was never about winning
Like who was best
before our hair started thinning
Beautiful Friend
My true friend to the end
Making others believe
was better than any other
Carried me on your sleeve
when I hid from my own mother
Times sure were good
I won’t deny
Did what you could
to keep that fire in my eye
Beautiful Friend
Stay with me to the end
Beautiful Friend
For you I’d give again and again
It seems
now we live a separate life
In our wildest dreams
never thought about a husband or a wife
But it’s so good
being just a phone call away
Still doing what we should
Keeping those memories at bay
An airplane ride
can only spoil the sea’s tide
No river’s too wide
to keep my friend from my side
Beautiful Friend
Over and over again
You’ll always be my best of kin
Beautiful Friend
You helped me
through every storm
What I couldn’t then see
You made me warm without a scorn
Beautiful Friend
Beautiful Friend
I’ll always bend backwards
for my Beautiful Friend
I hope you know
I’m your friend too
Just in case it didn’t show
I hope it’s not too late to say, I Love You
Beautiful Friend
So, if I leave
If I leave
I need to know that you
will be cared for
That you’ll never forget
you were my reason for living
And when you take a look in
the mirror
you’ll see a little of me in you
Toss your hair back
Throw yourself a smile
Let the world see what you’re giving
You’re still my reason for living
If I leave
I need to see you being good
to you
That you know how to really smile
Feeling that it’s all worthwhile
And if I have to leave
I hope there’s enough time
for me to live
To introduce tomorrow to today
What a more perfect way
to be able to say
So, if I leave
Will you remember what I did
Though I wish more of the good
than the bad
But will you remember what I did
Make me more than just a name
that carries all the shame
Remember what I did
Remember
Don’t make me more than I was
Just remember me because
of love
So, if I leave
I hope you do believe
I gave it my all
When only seasons change
Feelings remain the same
And words sometime break the fall
