You’re too good and you are true!

You get me laughing after making me cry
You make me forget that time is flying by
I knew someone special was waiting for me
Who knew you were the one meant for me

You hold my hand after looking at me
You make me forget how lonely I’d be
I knew something in you made me run to you
Who knew sweet love was the magnet in you

You hug me when things get hard to bear
You make me forget I had a frown to wear
I knew someday the world would all be mine
Who knew you were my morning sunshine

You kiss me goodnight when you sing me to sleep
You stole all cares I thought were mine to keep
I knew all my dreams were meant to be true
Who knew I wouldn’t stop dreaming of you

Grown-ups blues

Why do we kids just wait to grow up?
To give up what dreams we make up?
We complain and from fun we abstain
Our good old world is now a daily bane

We went around calling a spade a spade
And our days were almost easily made
We dusted our backs, went back to play
Fights forgotten, faces happy and gay

When wrinkles set in, we just droop away
Speak the things we never thought we’d say
Where went the dude, and the class clown?
Why is life sloping all the way there, down?

We all have grown older, some of us wiser
But those were days that could not get better
Why are we all losing ourselves this way?
Can we turn time back and kick the blues away?

My little Lily

Little Lily beckons me to her world
Suddenly I see some nice magic unfold
Sunshine blooms in her innocent smile
I am heading to heaven in drunken style

Little Lily somehow makes me do her will
Suddenly I see time standing still
Perfume fills the air when she’s walking by
I am heading nowhere but I just seem to fly

Little Lily tucks me into bed every day
Suddenly I see the gray melting away
Dreams flood my head as she sings to me
I am in the state I always wanted to be!

My little Lily hugs me when I get teary
Suddenly the world is hardly dreary
Her momma I see in her big blue eyes
I know her love has come to me from the skies
