On certain days
When the moon is ripe
A cool breeze brushes my hair
I can’t help but get senti
It can happen anywhere
Senti about the past
Lovers now long gone
Those were the days I tell myself
I’m not wrong
About those true hearts
The ones that got away
Senti, I get senti
But there’s more to say

You see, now I’m with a love
One who’s here to stay
She and I really fit together
We’re all the way
So every day I get senti
She’s so very fine
Life and love both moved on
Everything’s aligned

Senti, I get senti
Each and every day
Sentimental me, I am
Happy yes to say

She looks a lot like her
Big blue eyes
And auburn hair
The perfect size
But she’s not her
And will never be
So I do surmise
The issue is moving on
From what you can’t forget
You take it day by day
Hope for the very best

If you really want to know
I’ll tell it to you straight
I thought we were in love
Until my heart did break
I gave her all I had
And then some even more
I was so very sure
I think I’ve found someone new
But she looks a lot like her

I should be moving forward
Instead of looking back
What can you do when all you do
Is think about the past?
What should be ancient history
Swims inside my head
I’m running from a bad dream
That’s why I hate to go to bed

She looks a lot like her
I guess I’m going to try
There’s only one way out of here
Otherwise I’ll just cry
She looks a lot like her
I guess she always will
But maybe she’s the one for me
With those looks that ****

I wonder what’s she’s doing this weekend
I wonder who she’s with
I wonder if she misses me
I wonder if she’ll kiss someone else
The way she did with me
I wonder if there’s any chance she’ll come back to me
Nope, not gonna think about her anymore
Praying hasn’t done any good
I can’t turn back time
Though surely I would
It’s time to move on
Maybe I could
It’s hard to erase the thought of her
Of us as a couple
Of wishes upon stars
The ones we once made
For dreams to come true
Why did this happen?
I wish I knew
Isolation, my new friend
Along with tears and beers
God how I miss her
I wish she was near

I wonder what’s she’s doing this weekend
I wonder who she’s with
I wonder if she misses me
I wonder if she’ll kiss someone else
The way she did with me
I wonder if there’s any chance she’ll come back to me

My heart is warm again
We’re in a love so fine
That breakup nearly did me in
I cried ‘til I went blind
I’ll spend my life alone, I thought
Sometimes love is so unkind
A mystery unsolved, unresolved
A true romantic crime
Then we met and hit it off
We touched tentatively
Until into each other’s arms we flew
We are meant to be
And so my heart is warm again
Goodbye misery
I have hope and someone I love
And someone who loves me

It’s not right for us right now
Later, I’ll explain
I do know I love you so
That you should be mine
I’m hoping it will all work out
Wouldn’t that be fine?
We will be together, that I promise
Somewhere down the line

Somewhere down the line my dear
Somewhere down the line
You and me, we will be free
Somewhere down the line

Trust me, I’m protecting you
From what you need not know
It may be months, even years
But I need to go
I’ll be back, you know I will
Give me one last kiss
Just one more time
We shall be together, love
Somewhere down the line

Two for all the good times
Win place and show
In the winners circle
We always go
The plan is to keep on
All the days and nights
To please each other
We won’t give up the fight
We appreciate our good fortune
We know what to do
Keeping it together
Each day something new
Neville Johnson Feb 2021
Modern lovers
Fall asleep together
Wake up and read the paper
Nod and harrumph
Have coffee with each other
Yeah, that’s the kind of love I want
That’s the kind of love we have

This is today with many tomorrows
We’re way past yesterday
We own the world
There’s no sorrow
Let us pray
That our love lives long
Stays strong
That we’ll always find a way
To bring joy to the other
Each and every day
