Four days and I thought I was lucky
Four weeks the best month of my life
Four months I realize is not enough
Forever
Will never be mine

Crumpled up and tossed aside
Freshly burnt and harshly fried
Water wells up from inside
Feel two feet tall and one inch wide
With staining wounds I couldn't hide
Not good enough although I tried
Forget the knots I never tied
Forget them not the times I lied
"If only I had better guide"
The same excuse you all abide
For now in you I do confide
The shame I feel lays waste to pride

I love you more every single day
Nothing ever's been more true
And when I get to see you play
My heart sings its very own tune
Now that I am old and grey
Sometimes I forget to view
The world and what's important
Through the eyes of little ol' you

May angels songs be silenced
May their wings be folded shut
May every dog stop barking
Every lab and every mutt
May babies cries be hushed
And their eyes be opened wide
May all the world be humbled
By this beauty I stand beside

Thunder rumbles clearly on and over calming idle minds
Caressing thoughts of anguish and lament of all the wasted time
It echoes through the empty and the hollow of a broken soul
Mistaken for a heartbeat, just another flood, the hopeless rolls

One night with an Angel
Our fingers entwined
We breathed deep together
Our hearts lay aligned

I won without playing
I sang without sound
I flew without moving
I danced without ground

With thunder of trumpets
That silently sound
Abruptly reality
Stepped in abound

The sad revelation
As heart starts to fall
The Angel beside me
Is not mine to call

But as my eyes tired
I ne'er felt alarmed
Just dreamed about waking
To her in my arms
