He has opened up my eyes,
To the true meaning of love.

The best kind of love,
Painfully hurts deep inside.

He took my heart,
And wrapped it in one,
And now that he's here,
My future has beautifully begun.

I'm sitting here alone,
Procrastinating and overthinking things,
Because I'm draw to a thing called love,
Galloping and dozing off in the inspiring open wings.

you
Speak softly so I may listen to your words
Touch gently for your touch moves me
Sleep well for the dawn awaits you.

My Mamma cried
When she'd heard what I'd done
My Daddy went back inside
And he grabbed his gun

I'd met a ******* the other side of town
Of course I am white and of course she is brown
I don't rightly care cause we're both in love
And I ain't gonna let her suffer none

We's from Birmingham
Down South Birmingham Alabama you see
If'n you must know the year
I'd say a shameful 1963

There was unrest amongst the people
Which was bad enough
But it was doubly troublesome
On our taboo love

Deep segregation kept our worlds apart
Something the youth of the day couldn't see
Outside color don't matter, it's what's in the heart
That's the hold she has over me

Not really sure things have changed all that much
Though it's our nature to want to pretend
I'm not much into caring what others might think
Sometimes you gotta stand up like a man

I'm telling this tale from my front porch swing
As I listen to my Grandchildren's playful screams
While holding hands rocking back and forth
My lovely brown skinned beauty and me

I heard a cry in the night,
A thousand miles it came,
Sharp as a flash of light,
My name, my name!

It was your voice I heard,
You waked and loved me so—
I send you back this word,
I know, I know!
